Thanks Chris: Your suggestion worked, I am able to backup the addressbook, calendar, and notes without error! For everyone's benefit, I will put some details down:
1) I recently upgraded to the latest 8100 FW version 4.2 something. That didn't affect this problem however. I have also tried USB1.1/2.0 ports, and newest kernels. 2) I can't do barrybackup -d ATM, maybe after some more experimentation. 3) Limiting the databases sure worked! I had errors more often with large items like the content store. Regarding tethering: with pppob, I noticed a BB reboot only when the computer was trying to send a bunch of data. I tried an online speedtest, and it rebooted during the upload part of the test, IOW the computer was sending data to the BB. I thankfully can do normal browsing and email without problem tho! Other notes: I'll try to do some better investigation around my errors to see why the problem. Here are some errors I have gotten with barrybackup. >Restore error: Error while restoring CustomWordsCollection. Desktop: could >not clear database: (command: 0x41, code: 0x2) Will continue processing. >Restore error: Error while restoring Handheld Key Store. (-110, No error): >Timeout in usb_bulk_read Will continue processing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
