Backup System for Jailbroken iPhone On Windows…

Technorati Tags: iPhone,OpenSSH,JailBreak,AddressBook,SMS,CallHistory,Calendar,Notes,Dynamic-Text,Safari,SystemConfiguration

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.

Finally settled with web host…

After considering many web host, finally settled with Hostcats.com windows reseller account.

Reasons for them are as under:

1) They are in India, and accepted cash transfer…
( No Credit Cards!!! )

2) On line support along with telephone support

3) They offered me 4 domains hosting with 4 GB space and 40 GB / Month data transfers…

Well now to make my websites… ;-)

Searching for a WebHost

Am also considering http://www.netwayweb.net/ 

They are offering Business Windows .NET Starter Account with
5 domains + 40 GB space + 300 GB /Mo transfer + PHP + ASP.NET for Rs. 2400 per Year. (i.e. about USD 50 per Year)

Think I will mostly go with them. (Need to talk to them over the phone first)

Searching for a WebHost

After GISOL fraud, am still looking for a good webhost who can host multiple domains and allow aspx scripts.

Am currently discussing with http://www.net4.in/ as they are offering 50 MB for INR 499 per year for 1 host that's about USD 12 per year.

Kalyway Mac Os X 10.5.1 & HP nx7010

This entire weekend I was trying to get the Kalyway Mac Os X 10.5.1 up and running on nx7010... After 14 tries, and lurking in the insanelymac forums was able to boot to the Os...

The more I experimented, the more I realized why Apple fusses so much about Mac Os X only on their hardware and the whole "Customer Experience" thing...

The point is that Mac Os X works flawlessly on their hardware but on other systems, it may or may not work depending on the bios, hardware and the settings chosen on the Kalyway disk...

Final thoughts, it is better to just buy a MacBook Pro, if you are going to be paying for the system and the OS...

Forgot about this...

I forgot about this weblog...

Will try to be more punctual from now onwards.

Am trying this from the Windows Live Writer. It seems it is easy to publish using this.
