Backing up device data
About backing up data automatically
You can use BlackBerry® Protect to automatically back up your data daily, weekly, or monthly. When you turn on automatic backups, BlackBerry
Protect backs up your data at the specified frequency when your BlackBerry device is connected to the wireless network and not in use. If your
device is turned off or not connected to the wireless network when a backup is due, BlackBerry Protect backs up your data the next time that
your device is turned on and connected.
While BlackBerry Protect is backing up your data, you can use your device as you normally would. BlackBerry Protect pauses the backup process
when you use your device and automatically finishes backing up your data when you are done.
