I want to be able to copy addressbooks in and out of owncloud

What would be useful would be a way to export the addressbook at
intervals.  Could this be done using cron?  I can't find any
documentation on the owncloud cron.

I guess I could simply DIY it by reading the database directly, that's
not so difficult but I was just wondering if someone had done it
already.
In the Contacts UI settings you get the CardDAV URL, something like
http://localhost/owncloud/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/chris/contacts

Append '?export' to the end of that URL and enter your credentials.

Test with wget or curl. I use wget for my backups:

wget --auth-no-challenge --http-user=chris --http-password=xxxxxxxx -O \
     backup.vcf 
http://localhost/owncloud/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/chris/contacts?export

Hello Thomas,

grabbed that old mail out of my archives.
Just updated to v6 and had to adapt my backup cron jobs.
For v6 I had to modify wget call and now it looks like:
wget --auth-no-challenge --http-user=me --http-password=secret -O \ backup.vcf http://localhost/index.php/apps/contacts/addressbook/local/1/export

Using this line gets me a nice vcf file of my default addressbook.

How to get all addressbooks at once?
Is there a way or do I have to get ids of each addressbook and make a call for each one?

Cheers,
Mark
