yes. you will lose all your games if it breaks up. there is no way to backup the games. only if you have the installation file (.jar) on your pc, you can install again.

You can download game from mobile to PC !!!
1-Download the game.
2-Move the game to the external memory.
3-Connect the phone to the PC with the usb cable and go to the "MSSEMC/System/Ams" folder.
4-Get the "*.jar.sest" file (the real game file) and copy it into the "MSSEMC/Media Files/Other" folder. Use the USB cable to do this.
5-Disconnect the phone and go to the "Other" folder (using the phone)
6-You will find the game in that folder. Now send it to the PC via Bluetooth or IR (using the "Send" option of your phone)
7-You will recieve a .JAR file in your PC. (not a .jar.sest file)

the .jar.sest file is sony encrypted file, hence, it cannot be used for installing again.

actually dude, the sest file gets decrypted by the phone for sending. If you send it from the others folder it will get to the computer as a fully installable jar file, or if sent to a phone, will install on that phone.
I just tested both methods, with a game I downloaded OTA (cost $7 but I get to keep the game  ), and they work.
So IT IS FULLY POSSIBLE TO BACK UP JAVA APPS on the K750. This is awesome news.

I tried doing that with a tubemap navigator I downloaded but when I go into the other folder and try and send it to my PC via bluetooth, the send function "bluetooth" is greyed out. If I try and press select it says the file is protected...?

The game is DRM'd. Nothing you can do about that. Damn.
I suppose that's to be expected - DRM isn't possible to work around and publishers will wont to protect their content.
I suppose you could try changing the DRM settings for the file with SE's drm packager - you might for example be able to copy the sest file to the computer via explorer (using the phone cable), change it's drm attribute to allow copying, then copy it back to the phone's other folder, then try and send it from the phone.
At this stage most java app vendors don't bother using drm on games, but if phones proliferate like the K750 that have the ability to backup games, you may start to see more drm on games.

I think that DRM violates the fair-use provision of copyright law. We're supposed to be able to back up our data. I think the fact that a Sony customer service rep just told me to do a master reset on my phone (a month-old, malfunctioning phone), with no way of backing up my games, and no offer to compensate me for them, is crazy. My phone malfunctions and I'm expected to just lose my data.
I also think it's crazy that I can't play my itunes songs on my k750i. It's my data. I paid for it. |

I think it's crazy you bought anything off itunes, for specifically that reason.
