Is this possible to do with the 8800? I would LOVE to be able to make a backup so that all I have to do if I am on a weekend trip is bring my BB and a storage card in the event something happens. I hate that I'd have to lose my data for the whole time I am gone instead of just restoring from a card I could keep with me. I don't take my laptop everywhere!

I rarely, if ever, made use of this on my Windows Mobile phone, but I liked knowing that I could if necessary.

There are no backup programs for the BB that I know of. At least there are none listed on RIM or Handango.com. Plus, I don't think the BB is capable of executing applications from the storage card. I think it there for data storage only.

You can backup to your computer then copy the backup along with bb desktop to the card. If the unfortunate happens you have all the tools needed. Just find a kinko or a public library to get back in business. Of course don't forget the sync cable. As you can see there is a great need for a backup program. Coming from the dark side (palm world) I miss having multiple app choices for any given function. I think bb will get there with the release of devices such as the pearl and the curve more avg users will convert to bb and developers will beging meeting demand.
