Finally, success.

I downloaded the libtar rpm as suggested and followed the instructions. I still needed to install libtool which I did. (I'm out of rev. with libopensync but it seems to work fine).

I can now backup my BB using barrybackup (using su -c barrybackup)! Only thing is, where is the backup file and what is it's name? I searched the source (I didn't install from source but from rpm's but have it anyway) but couldn't see what name it uses. I did see a reference to a variable 'filename' but it almost looks like it gets that via user input. I'm not a cc programmer and can barely understand c so I'm lost on this one.

A compiled the addcontact example program and when I ran it the contact showed up in my BB address book! I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I looked at the code and at the barry source to see what other options there are other than add a new record cause it would be nice to come up with some kind of sync feature but this cc stuff is just plain weird.

So, I guess I'll have to be satisfied to doing address book csv exports and then writing a perl sync csv program and then importing it all back in my BB.

But at least I can now backup what I currently have so if I mess up (which I will) I can recover.

Thanks for this awesome program.

Cheers.
