MobileBackup is a Java application for mobile phones that can back up or restore/import your contacts, calendar events and TODOs to/from a text file on the mobile phone.
Features
Features
- The Java program usually sits on the phone's memory card.
- Backup: o When the application runs, it creates a single file in a Backup directory, usually on the memory card, which contains all the contents of the Address Book (aka contacts list) in vCard format, and the Calendar and TODO lists (in vCalendar format). The filename includes the date of the backup. o You can then copy the file back to the computer, e.g. by mounting the memory card over the USB cable or sending the file via Bluetooth or infraport.
- Restore: o The application looks for the file named Backup.txt in the folder Backup under the selected file root (e.g. E: for memory card). It must contain entries in the vCard and/or vCalendar format supported by your phone and it may contain additional information about where exactly the data should be imported (such as SIM or Phone adress book), see the backup file description. o Entries from the file are appended to the appropriate list (contacts, calendar, ...).
- The application has a built-in help so you should be able to use it even if you don't print this page :-)
- It's also important to realise what the program is not supposed to do:
- It's not intended for synchronisation with any other data store.
