A command-line tool for SMS backup and restore
 
Hi, I've just developed a small command-line utility to backup and restore SMS on N9. Also the one for call log.

It can be downloaded here:
SMSBackupRestore
CallBackupRestore

Here is a GUI version forked, JFYI: https://github.com/harmattan/MeegoSMSBackupRestore

If you're interested in building from source, a little bit instruction here.

Use at your own risk.

Donation appreciated to Paypal account: wwwjfy@gmail.com

it works beautifully {7000+ texts backed up, merged with another few hundred, tweaked, and restored}.

one fatal flaw: no donation box!!
how do i give you all my money, wwwjfy?

I have an old nokia e70; i would like to copy the sms from there to my nokia n9, since nokia e70 works with nokia suite, would it possible using your tool to import the e70 .csv exported with the suite in the n9 ?

Is there the same tool to back-up and restore Notes for the N9?

Thanks!

import fails if you do 'delete all messages' first. it works again if you send a message.
error is:

About to commit the changes
virtual bool CommHistory::EventModelPrivate::doAddEvent(CommHis tory::Event&) Group id not set
Error adding events

I have no idea how e70 .csv looks like. I can do a python or lua script if you send me a sample

Interesting as I tried both ways, delete all messages first or not.

Though maybe not related, could you paste a sample csv file here?

if you can, please comment there, https://github.com/wwwjfy/MeegoSMSBa...store/issues/1, so I can track and receive notifications (no idea how to set it here)
