Back Up?
-
@mooncosmique JFI There is a hackathon starting on Friday for Dekko2 to help improve the app https://gettogether.community/events/1915/ubports-hackathon-dekko-2/

@mooncosmique
Dekko has no contact feature yet.
But if you hope it can access your phone contacts, then I think it goes against confinement.What I hope will be done some day is a local contact storagr for Dekko and the ability to sjare contact information between the apps.
But this is a lot of work... meanwhile I'm grateful for the emails I can read and write. -
@mooncosmique said in Back Up?:
On the other hand, I discovered that Dekko mail won't send attachments or access my contact list. I really like UT but there are some things that don't work that surprise me.
I just tested attachments in Dekko 2, I was able to send a picture taken with the camera. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you.
I'm using the 16.04/rc channel on an OnePlus One device, but I think with the recent OTA-10 update on stable, rc and stable should be currently mostly identical (sure to soon diverge I assume). I may be mistaken though, I'm still new to UT.

@normandc Same here but noticed i need to start Dekko first before sharing files fwiw...

For the backup there are two usefull tools available on UTouch with the command line:
syncevolution allows you to synchronize your calendar, contact and tasks with any sync-ml or webdav server.
rsync allows you to copy or synchronize all your files to a remote destination.
Another way is to enable ssh on your device and access it from your PC to backup your files. -
Hi
Just getting back to this. I am trying to use UT as my main phone now, it is missing a lot of features my other phones had but seems to be more stable than my most recent android attempt.
How do I enable SSH on the phone? I am fairly competent with the CLI so I should be able to figure it once I get started.
Thanks

@mooncosmique You can use the UT Tweak Tool to enable ssh (and a lot more).
-
@mooncosmique Or you can use adb to add your public key to the
authorized_keys2
, I think that's what I did. -
@mooncosmique another way to do it is following these instructions http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/ssh.html

@mooncosmique , hello! You can use TWRP. If you have it, go to the backup directory and make backup all your system. Backup will be save on phone disk space. If you want make only contacts backup go by the link /home/phablet/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db
and copy this file to pc.
