Revision history [back]

Today I updated both my Jolla1 and Jolla C to 2.0.2.48, so I assume that backup formats are compatible.

• I created a backup with Jolla1 to SD card,
• tried to restore backup from SD card on Jolla C,
• and the process hangs (forever) at the messages, exactly at the last multimedia message, which was sent today. (So only messages since that are restored, and text in the multimedia message is restored as well, but not the image.)

I'm trying now again, I will report what happened.

Update: a backup without the originally problematic multimedia message cannot be restored either. Only messages from today get restored, nothing older.

Update2: with cloud (Dropbox) the backup creation fails (or actually the sync). The Dropbox account is set up properly, everything else works with it. The end of log file:

Update3: I managed to restore backup after factory reset (2.0.2.43 or 45), but it did not restore any messages (but at least did not hang). So I restored messages manually, copying /home/nemo/.local/share/commhistory. I think there should be an easier way to restore a backup...
