CNet: New BlackBerry Backup Utility From RIM
BlackBerry Protect is the first native backup utility from RIM – third-party products are available – and it’s free.
“There have been a few third-party applications that provide some combination of remotely backing up, restoring, and locating an errant BlackBerry smartphone, but no in-house service crafted by BlackBerry maker Research In Motion itself. Not until now, that is.
On Monday, RIM introduced BlackBerry Protect, a free service that provides tools to remotely locate, back up, restore, and wipe the data from your phone with a system that’s extremely similar to Microsoft’s freemium My Phone service–introduced for Windows phones back in October 2009.”
