Why don't you make your own script for backup? I have it set up this way, but I don't think that it's possible with osso-backup.

Could anyone tell me the location/folder of those files e.g. contact folder, bookmark, system setting, application etc.?
Thank you.

Help please. I need to know the location/folder of these files e.g. contact folder, bookmark, system setting, application etc.that the installed N900's backup program backed it up. These will be used for my nightly backup.
Thanks.
Thanks.

exec maemo-invoker /usr/bin/osso-backup.launch
aka179 are you still around this forum? Please help me on this, or someone who understand how to run the osso-backup answer me this. I would appreciate it very much.

I assume no one has any new information on this - I am, also looking for something of the sort (I would rather not recreate the wheel but use the built-in osso-backup functionality instead).

Here's a thread where I posted a script to backup /home/user/ (excluding MyDocs). I believe all the things you want to backup are in the /home/user directory. Worst case, it'd be 1.9GB, mine runs around 200-300MB.
It backs up to the MyDocs/tmp directory, easily changeable, so if you're already backing up your MyDocs, just run it first. You can also backup /opt as well.
You ought to be able to exclude other directories if you want as well to reduce size.

Is it possible to run the osso-backup program without using GUI?
I would like to schedule a backup using the osso-backup program and run it nightly. I plan to use Fcrontab to exec osso-backup.
Normally, I use the default setting in the backup program as shown by GUI that is backing up everything. And also use the default of the backup file name.
I need help in executing the osso-backup using the command line instead.
Thank you.
