Changed from iPhone to N900. Used iPhone from 3gs to 4s (two years back). It was a big drop of what I could do with a phone. Made a lot of music (with nanostudio and garage band) and movies with my own music and took a lot of pictures and made a lot picture editing. I have hopes leste helps to fill the gap a bit. But mainly I wait for the security and browser updates. Got fed up doing too much with a phone. Browser means a lot. To acces information.

You should borrow / get for free an iPhone 11 Pro and check out the music / photography / Surfing the web for an actual taste of these interesting part and then find out that N900 Maemo Leste does all the rest better.

as root in xterm, type:
/etc/init.d/ssh start
On the PC:
sshfs -o idmap=user,allow_other root@192.168.2.15:/ /the/mount/point/you/choose
Then, you have access to your n900 filesystem and can backup it with rsync. (on an ext filesystem so you keep the permissions).
Same way inversed, you'll be able tol restore what you want.
Hmmm, reading myself, I see it's not so simple at first point of view but it is, actually
edit: my rsync command (knowing it has some repetitive options but too lazy to rtfm again, knowing it works since years):
rsync -vazHE --force --delete --recursive /the/mount/point/you/choose/ /your/backup/path/
Also, don't forget /, /home and /home/user/MyDocs are on different partitions on the n900 as you could also backup from backupmenu.
In this case, you will not have access (or I forgot how) to /, but only to the /home partition and to MyDocs. For /, you can use backupmenu directly.

Is there anyone in the core team or among the Leste testers with a F(x)tec Proš? I should get mine in less than two weeks if everything goes well, and I would like to help but (1) I am not a coder/developer, and (2) the Proš will be my main phone, so I will need a way to easily backup and restore my main OS (which will probably be the community port of SFOS, if usable).
I don't think there is any Leste test build for the Proš yet, but I am wondering where to start. If there is a way to help with some kind of generic Leste build without compromising my Proš for later use (i.e., previous OS can be restored afterwards), please let me know.
Also, latest virtual machine images have been uploaded in February, yet I think Leste has progressed in many ways since then. Are there new builds somewhere?

Will do, thanks Wizzup_. In theory, can Leste boot from a SD card or would I have to wipe the internal memory of the phone? Wasmachinemann-NL and I both volunteered, but I'm sure it would be easier to test things if there was an easy fallback to the internal OS, especially for such an expensive (and rare) device.
Are there any up-to-date VMs available somewhere?
