I received my Jolla C yesterday, and was trying to transfer SMS and call history from Jolla to Jolla C. I tried doing Backup from Jolla and transfer to Jolla C, but Jolla C seemed not recognizing the backup. Any suggestion? Thanks!

What version of Jolla1 ?

Schturman ( 2016-07-17 07:24:58 +0300 )edit

Jolla1 is of version 2.0.1.11.

try to save your backup file on sd card and open backup app again. At least on my jolla1 (2.0.2.45), the backup app is detected old backup from 2.0.1.11 and converted it to compatible for v2.0.2.45.

I tried using backup, but it could only update my backup - cannot restore the backup I had on my SD card.

"update" it probably mean convert to the backup version of 2.0.2.43. After this you will be allowed to restore your backup.

As a Jolla C Owner I had the same problem:

Solution:

SSH to Jolla 1, execute:


commhistory-tool export -calls Calls    
commhistory-tool export -groups Groups

SSH to Jolla C, execute

scp -r nemo@OLDJOLLAIP:/home/nemo/Calls /home/nemo/Calls    
scp -r nemo@OLDJOLLAIP:/home/nemo/Groups /home/nemo/Groups
commhistory-tool import Calls    
commhistory-tool import Groups    
reboot

Everything will be copied

To copy Notes try on Jolla C

scp -r nemo@OLDJOLLAIP:/home/nemo/.local/share/jolla-notes/QML/OfflineStorage/Databases  /home/nemo/.local/share/jolla-notes/QML/OfflineStorage/Databases

I got a lot of messages like:

 [W] CommHistory::DatabaseIO::addEvent:383 - bool CommHistory::DatabaseIO::addEvent(CommHistory::Event&) Adding event with an ID set. ID will be ignored.
[D] Catcher::eventsCommittedSlot:71 - void Catcher::eventsCommittedSlot(QList<CommHistory::Event>, bool)
[D] Catcher::groupsCommittedSlot:81 - void Catcher::groupsCommittedSlot(QList<int>, bool)
[W] CommHistory::DatabaseIO::addEvent:383 - bool CommHistory::DatabaseIO::addEvent(CommHistory::Event&) Adding event with an ID set. ID will be ignored.
[D] Catcher::eventsCommittedSlot:71 - void Catcher::eventsCommittedSlot(QList<CommHistory::Event>, bool)
Imported 99 conversations, 1639 messages, 0 calls

Is this expected or there is a problem in my case?

Thank you, you saved me as I was trying to make backup conversions. (Note worked, but it made a child folder Databases in Databases. Just move back)

@saturn: It says imported, no? (will probably set it own ID in the new database)

For importing contact, I simply made a backup on Jolla, then copied /home/nemo/.vault/People/data/all.vcf on Jolla C, e.g. on /home/nemo/Downloads, then opened the file manager on Jolla C and went to Download, then tap on all.vcf and accepted import of contacts
