I guess its common practice to Backup before updating the OS..In fact, in BB service centre they always suggest you to Backup the data as there is a possibility of losing the data on device...So no point in complaining...The Best thing is to sync the calender/contacts from web-based services like Gmail/Hotmail etc...
That would be the right thing to do, however i can backup but for some reason I can't restore no matter how many times I try so backup doesn't work for me
What I am suggesting is to store your contact and calendar on web based services like Gmail and then sync with PB...so that even in future when you update the OS....you will not lose your data...as it will be available atleast on the Web...which you can again sync with PB....
That is a useful idea. However, call me paranoid, but not everyone wants to trust personal info to a cloud server like Google to be used in dubious ways. Second, this is a workaround. It does not absolve RIM from releasing an OS which can not remember and recall user data.
If you're not going to trust that data to a cloud server of some type then you will need to back it up. If it is that important then it is worth taking the time to backup. If there is a problem with the restore process then that is for another thread and I'm sure we can find you some help.

In my opinion it's not fair to blame RIM for this as it was always suggested by them thru their service center that there is a possibility of losing the data even when you update the OS even in the case of BlackBerry Device (phone as well as PlayBook)....Although it would be Ideal if the data does not vanish.....

I am 'in love' with my PlayBook, just ask my wife. But I also spent 40 some years in the industry. OS backup should not loose customer data. Particularly if it was backed up. I had a backup made running OS 2.1 beta. When I did a 'Restore' my calendar entries did not restore.
