Sprite Backup and Blackberry Connect

[cyjeff]

Has anyone tried to restore from backup onto a Tilt that is using BB Connect?

When it restores the calendar files, it sends a notification to everyone in every meeting.

Very embarrassing when you start getting the "I thought we had this meeting 5 months ago" emails.

I have upgraded to the full version of Sprite but the tech support there didn't know of any way to adjust the auto backups to avoid the contacts and calendar files (which I pull from the BB server).

Any suggestions? Or, better, is there a better way of backing up my Tilt?

I used SPB backup... I never got any emails, so I'm assuming I was in the clear...

I had the same incident happen.

It appears to be related to how the BB Connect "service" determines if things are changed on the phone.

I restored from a backup & it sent out "delete" notices followed almost immediately by "update" notices for all my meetings.

The only thing I can think of as a "work around" to the issue is to ensure that the radio and BB service is off on the phone when doing the restore, then going in & clearing out any items that are pending in the outbox.

Actually, I found my own workaround.

It is only the calendar entries that blast (apparently, the phone sees restored calendar entries as "new" and so alerts the media).

So, before a backup, I just uncheck the calendar box in BB. Calendar entries only take a second to upload so it is no biggie to restore then from the BB server.... and the phone doesn't see them as new entries.
