Applications/games not being restored from a complete backup.

I made a complete backup of my 6720c phone using nokia pc suite with all options selected. Now when I tried to restore them back, I didn't get the applications and games restored back that I had included in my full phone backup. I tried again with just the user files & user files from the mem card option for restoring, but still the same result. I've the latest version of the nokia pc suite. Any idea how to solve this problem?.

Thanks.

Then how do you make a full backup which also includes any programs and games that have also been installed on the phone?

you don't, if we had that ability there would be nothing stopping you distributing apps/games that are paid for

does i actually back them up? on the N900 it only keeps a list so when you restore it, it downloads them rather than them being on your pc

The N900 has a different OS than Symbian so I wouldnt know how that works. Havent tried it on the newest version, but the last time it wasnt to backup everything.
