Backing up Applications

If you have installed your applications on the MMC card, they will still be available on the phone's Main menu after the deep reset. However, the Application Manager program might not keep track of them anymore. So, you might lose the ability to update or remove those applications. For the Application Manager to work, you need to copy the contents of the C:\System\Install\ directory to the E:\System\Install\ directory on the MMC card. Those directories contain the installers (i.e., the .sis archive file) of applications installed on the device. Since those system directories are not available in the Nokia PC Suite's phone browser, you have to copy them manually using a program such as FExplorer.

If you did not install applications on the MMC card and you have not backed up the entire phone memory using an automatic backup method covered in the previous section, you must reinstall all the applications from scratch.
