install due to validation failure. Some packages contained unsatisfied dependencies."

Workaround: Change the permissions on the destination folder or write the backup file to a folder which does not have
read-only permissions.
When you select a backup file and then click the Restore icon, the archive details that display in the lower pane might not
reflect the content of the backup file. (DT 2140681, 3869152)
Workaround: To view the details of your backup file, use your mouse to click the backup file name. The lower pane
updates and displays the data for the selected backup file.
If you restore a backup file to your smartphone which is larger than the space available on the built-in media storage for
the smartphone, the BlackBerry Desktop Software displays a dialog telling you that the built-in media storage is full and

You receive a "Restore data canceled" message in the status bar even though the data from your media card and built-in
media storage is restored. (DT 647668, 3868950)
You don't receive a warning message when a backup file isn't created because there isn't enough disk space; you receive
a message that "The selected backup file is either invalid or corrupt." (DT 614089, 3868941)
You cannot complete an encrypted backup with a large amount of data in your built-in media storage. (DT 349826)
