How to Back Up a Media Card in a Blackberry Curve

Back Up Your BlackBerry

The BlackBerry Curve smartphone accommodates a micro-SD media card for additional device storage. To back up a media card in the BlackBerry Curve, attach the smartphone to a computer using the USB connector cable. Enable Mass Storage Mode to copy the entire BlackBerry folder onto a computer hard drive or another storage device. In doing so, all data on the media card automatically backs up onto the other storage device.

Instructions

1. Plug one end of the USB connector cable into the BlackBerry Curve and then plug the other end into a free USB port on the computer. The computer will register first the USB device, and then will register the BlackBerry Curve. A prompt will appear on the BlackBerry Curve asking if you would like to use "Mass Storage Mode."

2. Select "Yes" and press the trackball or trackpad. Mass Storage Mode is enabled and allows the computer to recognize the BlackBerry Curve as a removable drive.

3. Click the Windows "Start" button and open Windows Explorer. The BlackBerry device appears as a removable drive, along with a drive letter, in the left pane of Windows Explorer.

4. Click the "Removable Drive" option in the left pane of Explorer. A folder named "BlackBerry" will appear in the right pane.

5. Right-click on the "BlackBerry" folder in the right pane, and select "Copy" from the context menu.

6. Navigate to the backup location on the computer's hard drive or another drive.

7. Right-click in the backup folder and click "Paste" from the context menu. The BlackBerry folder is backed up to another location.
