A gorillapod would have been handy for this shot.

First post in english, maybe its of some use for somebody else.

I finally got around setting up backups of my Sony Ericsson phone again. First, I added an udev-rule to fix the permissions of the /dev/rfcomm0 device which gets set up automatically by Gentoo if configured right.

/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

 rfcomm0 {
  # Automatically bind the device at startup
  bind yes;

  # Bluetooth address of the device
  device 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE;

  # RFCOMM channel for the connection
  channel 1;

  # Description of the connection
  comment "description";
 }

udev-rule
```
 KERNEL=="rfcomm[0-9]*",GROUP="dialout"
```
Now we can access the phone via /dev/rfcomm0 as soon as we turn on bluetooth and plug in the adapter.

I tried some applications with this:

Gammu: this Gnokii-Fork also supports non-Nokia phones. There is a good GUI available (wammu), but I wasn't so lucky so I sticked to plain gammu.
- ~/.gammurc:
```
[gammu]
connection = at
port = /dev/rfcomm0
logfile = gammulog
logformat = textall
```
- A backup of the whole phone can be done with:
```
gammu backup <filename>
```

This will dump everything in one file.

OpenSync: this is the successor of MultiSync, the GUI for it did not build for me, but the commandline client msynctool does work. First, I tried a group of syncml for the phone, kdepim for Kontact and file for something 'solid' ;), like this:

Configuration was pretty easy once I figured it out:

# create group
msynctool --addgroup jan_private
msynctool --addmember jan_private kdepim-sync # -> member 0
msynctool --addmember jan_private file-sync # -> member 1
msynctool --addmember jan_private syncml-obex-client # -> member 2
# discover capabilities
msynctool --discover jan_private 0
msynctool --discover jan_private 1
msynctool --discover jan_private 2
# disable everything beside contacts
msynctool --disable-objtype jan_private event
msynctool --disable-objtype jan_private note
msynctool --disable-objtype jan_private data
msynctool --disable-objtype jan_private todo

Config for the plugins:

kdepim has no options

File: msynctool --configure jan_private 2

  <directory>
    <path>/home/ja/docs/sync</path>
    <objtype>contact</objtype>
    <objformat>vcard30</objformat>
  </directory>
</config>

SyncML (see OpenSync wiki): msynctool --configure jan_private 3

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <bluetooth_address>00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE</bluetooth_address>
  <bluetooth_channel>8</bluetooth_channel>
  <identifier>Sony Ericss</identifier>
  <version>1</version>
  <wbxml>1</wbxml>
  <username></username>
  <password></password>
  <type>2</type>
  <usestringtable>0</usestringtable>
  <onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
  <onlyLocaltime>0</onlyLocaltime>
  <recvLimit>0</recvLimit>
  <maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize>
  <database>
     <name>Contacts</name>
     <objtype>contact</objtype>
     <objformat>vcard21</objformat>
   </database>
</config>

Now we can sync (I need to try twice so it does the slow sync):
```
msynctool --sync jan_private
```

This gave me a duplicates everytime I synced.

Since it was a long time since I used my old addressbook, it took quite some time to hand-merge the backuped contacts (one for each number - wtf sony?) with the two other addressbooks (in Kontact). After that, I deleted all my contacts on the phone, tried - and it fucked up, because there were all the duplicates still in the file-backend. Ok, new group, only kdepim and syncml in it, delete all contacts on the phone again, sync - and everything is nice. Even syncing seems to work. Only Kontact doesn't show the Names of new synced contacts until you save them again.
