RE: [maemo-users] Backup - wishlist
Hey Nils, I'm not sure you saw the about backup and application manager today? ;-) It was the decision of Marius to *don't make backups* in Application Manager that got us here. And it is already fixed, unfortunatelly for the IT-2006 users, only in Sardine, not in IT-2006. Be sure we do backup and reflash new image on daily or weekly basis here. Just imagine how annoying that it for us. Even worse knowing that the guilty guy sits just next door :) Br, --jakub -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ext Nils Faerber Sent: 06 November, 2006 15:21 To: maemo-users@maemo.org Subject: [maemo-users] Backup - wishlist Hi! Though I very appreciate it that the developers of Maemo recognised the need for a backup application I think the implemented backup method is only half baked, sorry. The mechanism is nice and many post-installed application already use it - i.e. to register your data and have it backed-up. But have you ever made a backup before flashing a new image and then restored the backup? Yes? What was missing? The application manager (installer) does not backup anything at all! It does not backup the repository list and it does not backup the list of post-installed applications. Why is that? It would be easy to do and save a lot of hassle to dig out all the repos one once entered in a tedious process. This should really be easy to fix, at least the backup of the repository list. So please @Nokia: For the next release fix the application manager backup. Thanks!

But it is good to know that it will come. Thanks for the hint! Though it makes my wish to have that feature rather now than later even stronger - shall I try Sardine or not? Oh well...
