Backup System for Jailbroken iPhone On Windows…

Batch file Backup system for Jailbroken iPhone using OpenSSH, WinSCP, 7za.exe and yyyymmdd.com

FileList.csv for list of files to be backed up on next run. This FileList.csv is copied into the archive for restore.

Have not made restore yet as have not needed it yet.

Currently the System, using the mobile user  privileges, takes backup of the following from my Phone:

Address Book including Pictures
SMS
Call History
Calendar
Notes with Index
Keyboard’s Dynamic-Text
Safari Book Marks and History
System Configuration/Preferences

Since it uses a File List any file can be backed up on regular interval.

The FileList.csv stores category for defining the Local Folder where it will store the file.

Category, Full Path and File Name on iPhone, Permissions, Owner, Group

The Permissions, Owner and Group are not used during backup, but are kept incase of restore where after restoring the files need to set permissions, owner and group for them.

Well have uploaded the file to Rapidshare.com since can not upload with this post.
