Backups

[Guest mouseuk]

I 've looked around here but cannot see an easy method of backing up the Orange SPV to my pc via usb, is there one ?, am I blind ?

Thanks in advance

Mmmmm, what about mapping a drive from XP to it then backing up using a normal tool , Anyone know how to assign a drive letter to it ?

i've got a 'nice' simple app here that copies all the phone files (which can be copied) onto a directory in the pc..

If you think there is a need for it, i'll finish the front end?

[Guest James]

but why would you use it?

[Guest Will]

hence why i test the 'need'.. before i polish it up, planning to add it into a suite of utilities I'm playing with.

Unfortunately you can't mount the SPV in the same way that you can mount a normal external hard disk, so you can't assign a drive letter to it.

Any program used to back up the SPV would need to be specifically written for the SPV (or possibly Win CE).

Will –

If your app would be a “one click” backup for the SPV it sounds like it’s worth doing!

Also (maybe I should PM this :)) I noticed you posted about using RAPI with Delphi (in Jan I think) – any pointers you could give me? I’ve got an idea for a program and I just need to work out how to copy files to the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

can you get the ip address of the phone without any 3rd party tools ?
