The user-useful programs that come with barry-util are:
/usr/sbin/breset USB reset on blackberry
/usr/sbin/pppob PPP over Barry... used if tethering
/usr/bin/btool Original command line investigative tool
/usr/bin/bwatch Show updating screenshot of device in window
/usr/bin/bio Barry I/O - does various copying of data to and
from device, tarballs, formats, etc
/usr/bin/btardump Like btool, but for backup files
/usr/bin/btarcmp Compare backups
/usr/bin/bfuse Mount your Blackberry database as a filesystem
to browse contacts, etc as files.
/usr/bin/bjavaloader Install java programs
/usr/bin/balxparse Read java program files
/usr/bin/bjdwp Barry Java debugger
/usr/bin/brawchannel Used for communicating with a running app on
a device.
/usr/bin/bidentify Displays name, PIN, etc about whatever devices
are plugged in
/usr/bin/brecsum Calculates sha1 sums for database records...
used for testing and development / verfication
/usr/bin/upldif Uploads contacts from LDAP's LDIF format into
the contacts.... BUT! it erases what exists
before the upload, so use with caution.
These have man pages for more information.

Yes, but I believe 0.4x opensync is more rubust in handling syncing and
errors. Version 0.22 can get more easily confused. That said, they can
both get confused, which is why you want to script your setup, so you
can restart easily.

Set your environment variable EDITOR to the editor of your choice, and
osynctool should use that instead.

The backup only backs up the databases. Your java programs are not
backed up with it. Your PIN is baked into your device and doesn't
need to be backed up. Not sure where the messenger number is stored.

You can try, but the Barry that comes with Ubuntu does not have any
opensync support built in. You would still need to install the Barry
packages from sourceforge. I haven't tried this, and you might run
into dependency problems.
