Using Sashimi to automatically restore contacts on a touch pro

[garyflynn]

Is there a file I can put into the auto folder of sashimi to restore backed-up contacts?

If not, is it possible to run pim_backup for a given backup file from a mortscript that I could put into the auto folder?

just put this in your mortscript file and change the copy from folder location and you should be good to go...

Rename("\pim.vol", "plim.vold")
Copy("\Storage Card\Auto\pim.vol", "\pim.vol")
SetFileAttribute("\plim.vold", "archive", FALSE)
Delete("\plim.vold")


cheers!!

i pretty much do the exact same thing. wrote a script to copy that pim.vol file to my sd card every night, and another one to execute when sashimi is running the auto process

install mortscript, i included the cab in the zip along with a simple script that does the pim.vol backup...just copy your pim.vol from your phone and put it somewhere on your SD card...then put the script i wrote in the scripts part of SASHIMI...if you want you can change the path to where ever you have the pim.vol stored...

cheers!!

Great thread...

Could you post your script on backing up pim.vol automatically?

putting pim.vol onto you main storage is the only way to backup your favorite people tab, correct? pimbackup doesn't do this I believe? For this reason I'd like to divorce pimbackup and automate the process with sashimi

I use MS MyPhone and Sashimi and want to know if there is a way to back up my call history with Sashimi since MS MyPhone wont do it.
