When it comes to backing up my BlackBerry, I admit to having slacked off in recent months. There is no shortage of applications and methods with which to do so. Nonetheless, as I am not one to just rely on my SD card, my general rule is usually to have at least three different backups as a safety net. Ultimate Backup is one option available to BlackBerry users.
This backup tool comes with AES256 encryption, ability to backup to multiple locations such as the cloud (OneDrive, DropBox, and Box), phone memory and SD card, as well as USB on-the-go (supported devices only). Not only can you backup system data such as contacts, SMS/MMS, Calendar entries, Remember, and Call logs, but also personal data such as photos, videos, playlist, music, and documents.
For a limited time, and yes they go quickly, the developer is offering 1,000 copies to our readers. The code is already active and, of course, the instructions on how to get yours is shown below.
- Launch BlackBerry World
- Swipe down from the top and tap on Redeem
- Enter this promo code UBFREE20151000
- Tap on the green FREE button to download
Now that the BlackBerry Priv is official, this is certainly the right time to backup and preserve your data.
Ultimate Backup can be purchased in BlackBerry World for $3.99. It is compatible with all BlackBerry 10 handsets though some features require OS 10.3 and higher.

Got it!!! Thanks and a very Nice app :)
After installing the app I noticed that location services started to drain the battery. After removing the app, the activity of location services is normal again. Weird...

Nice app!
Thanks dev!
This app seems to be exactly what I was looking for, I probably would have paid for the app had I been given the chance to try before I buy.
Thanks again for the app dev, this is one of those apps that imho should be part of the OS to start with.
Too late.

Doesn't BlackBerry Link do that already?
Posted via CB10
Been using it for a while. Has saved me. Great application. Worth purchasing. Should be integrated into the OS.

swipe down from the top of what???

You have a BlackBerry BB10 phone?
Go to BlackBerry World touch the very top of your glass screen on your phone and swipe down with your finger, you will see redeem come into view on top.

This is something that every BlackBerry phone user should be used to as you do the same thing on your phone to see the quick settings, and also while you are in apps to use there settings etc.

I don't get it.. Why buy an App when BlackBerry has their own software to backup with?
Posted via CB10
Because it doesn't work as it should.
Posted via CB10
Me either!
Posted via CB10
Already have this app and what a life saver it is! Makes for super easy restoring.
Posted via CB10
Though I was unable to get the app, I'd like to thank the developer for giving the opportunity to get it free.

Got it the last time it was free, how would we load data onto priv though?
Posted via CB10
Not with this app. BlackBerry is providing an app to transfer from bb10 to priv
Posted via CB10
Sure sold out fast!
Posted via CB10
Already own it. Best backup app. I have regular automated weekly and monthly backups to the cloud! Highly recommend.
Posted via CB10
I dont seem to be doing this right i mean, I do as the instructions say but i cant fins any redeem option anywhere on BlackBerry World, I dont get it!
Posted via CB10
From within BlackBerry World swipe down from top bezel. Redeem icon should be second icon from right at the top.

Posted with my Classic.
if the developer is reading the comments, I am not happy with the app that just deleted my call logs. I started a backup for everything and when it completed the call logs was empty (never happened this before on Q10 and Classic), restarted the phone but call logs still empty, tried to restore it but there is no option for call logs - only backup but not restore
:( :(
lol, for some reason the call logs appeared after I closed the app (after the restart the call logs was still empty)
I wish that instead of free, these more expensive apps were discounted to 99 cents so people that actually want and will use the app can get it instead of a bunch of people downloading it just because it is free.

You have to remember when it comes to free stuff BlackBerry is famous and everybody wants it. With me it's famous anyway!

Your Welcome!
Posted via CB10
This is a great app. I highly recommend it. Get it free or pay for it - it is worth every dollar. I have been using it for quite a while now. Love the ability to save everything to my Box account. Contacts, pics, vids, sms and Mms and the list goes on. Even save your phone logs. Whether it is on the device or on your SD card, Ultimate Backup handles it!
Posted via CB10
As soon as it was posted I redeemed the code, yet ruinsoft is try to charge my account, stating the offer has expired.

Wow...Have never seen such a list of permissions. Feel like I am in Android. Way too much for me...some don't look necessary. Deleting.

3 backups locations? I backup every 2 weeks, but to the same location each time. That's some serious paranoia. :)
Must post...on...CrackBerry!
That's some Best Practice is what that is.

Thanks A lot! Does anybody know how to get any paid app from the BlackBerry App World for BB10 free just like in Android and iOS???
Posted via CB10
Yes go buy a BlackBerry priv

Got it this time, thanks.
Posted via CB10 from Passport SQW100-4/10.3.2.2789
Made it in time. Thank you to the developer for great BB10 apps.
I have it, and it showed promise. Oddly enough, I just sent this email to support this am. So if you have similar issues, I'll let you know how support handles it.
Hello,
I've had ongoing problems backing up to cloud services. I'm logged into, and can freely access, all three cloud services (OneDrive, Dropbox and Box). I've tried to set Ultimate Backup to schedule a backup file to each of those services, and have always gotten the attached error. It doesn't recognize that I'm logged into the cloud services, and won't allow me to set it as a backup destination.
Pls let me know if there's anything I can set differently in order to make this happen.
As a work around, I've had my daily backups destination set to the phone itself. This isn't a good solution, since if I lose the phone, my backup is gone too. Not to mention the obvious file space that's taken up. In addition, when I do this, after the backup is done, I can no longer access ongoing text conversations, nor can I type a text to send. I need to reboot the phone every morning after the backup has been run overnight, in order to bring text functionality back.
Pls let me know how I can fix these two issues.

Purchased it a long while ago. Very worthwhile. Excellent app.
I got one, thanks developer
Posted via CB10
Wow, I was going to purchase this app but I got it free. :D
Posted via CB10
Why is it necessary to need all of the permissions in order to work?
Posted via CB10
So they can backup the device...
Posted via CB10
But it appears to have too many permissions.
