Hi,

A couple of things. First read the documentation, then create one or more backup_registration.xml files and copy it/them in the right location.

I created a bachup regisration file backup_registration.xml

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<backup_registration>
<system_backup/>
<restore requires_reboot = "no"/>
</backup_registration>

and placed it in applications private folder
"..\Data\backup_registration.xml"-"!:\private\200202A2\backup_registration.xml"

After restoring I could see the application icon in the installed folder, but the application is not launching when i click on the icon. What could be the issue?

There are a couple of known issues and technical solutions about backup and restore in the Forum Nokia Knowledge Base. See if any of them may be of help to you.

One possible problem could be that you are using a embedded SIS which does not have backup suppot and thus the content of that sis file is not backed-up which in turns means that your loading will fail due to missing dependency.
