backups

[danny37906]

I'm helping a family member with a phone, I've never really messed with android much before (I have a tracfone), but as the local computer person, I'm the one everyone goes to for assistance with anything electronics.

I have a server setup (windows server 2008) with shared drives that anyone can access, I'd like to have a script or something on the phone to transfer everything on the phone to my server either when ever it connects, or when a simple icon is pressed or something simple like that.

I've been thinking a bash script, but I'm not sure how to do that, from what I've seen, that requires rooting, and I'd rather not do that unless I need to...

cheers

Android isnt going to be as easy as a bash script without rooting first.

There are many apps available that can backup and export user data already on the market, just have to pick one and run with it. Mind you the app needs to be installed on the device and may require being purchased and locked to a specific account.

If you are looking to be a "technician" of android devices you need to learn the android adb interface.
