Well, the intermittency is the surprise to me in this case. Everything else in Link works for me but backup, and always the same error. The only exception (for me) was when I turned off encryption, then backup worked, and then started failing again once I enabled encryption again. The failure is consistent.

However, as I say, I think the big picture is the unreliability (or undependability) at this point. Even if you find that spinning on your heals three times and saying BlackBerry loves me make it work, you could get to the time you need to restore and find that restore doesn't work know matter how many times you spin on your heals and say BlackBerry loves me.

Best have a backup plan to the backup plan.
