LG Ally and Backup Assistant failure

I have the LG Ally. Within the last couple of months, I am receiving a database error from Backup Assistance. I power cycle the phone every few days but that hasn't solved the issue. Any ideas to remedy this would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Since the Ally is a android device and has access to gMail, I would export all contacts from BA and put them into gMail and allow them to sync from there.... Also get rid of BA, it doesnt work well with a number of smart phones.... Follow instructions below to move info to gMail...

1. Log into Verizon Backup Assistant
2. Click on Export to CSV
3. Save File as (or Rename to) Contacts (it should already be converted to CSV so including .csv is redundant)
4. Log into Gmail/Google Voice
5. Click on Contacts
6. Click on Import
7. Browse for the Contacts (.csv) file
8. Click Import

Also to cancel BA, go to Settings / Applications / Manage Application / All Tab / Sync Storage amd Clear Data and this will stop the app from syncing data from site, this shouldnt delete info stored on BA site but will stop the phone from syncing data.

If you want to set up again all you have to do us open app and input personal login data..

Thanks!!! I called Verizon tech. support and they had no idea how to repair Lg Revolution for the (10) databbase error for the Backup Assistant. There only resolution was to do a factory reset. I'm glad I waited and checked the discussion page. It worked!
