Just for a historic record, I'm posting this to the list as well ( I
initially sent to the wrong address).

Subject: jFreeSafe backup and restore updates
To: fre...@li...
Cc: at...@at...

Hey Laszlo,
   attached is a patch (against trunk) to allow backup and restore
functionality. You already had the functionality stubbed out, but with
no implementation. This implementation is slightly different than what
you had initially started: in this implementation, the user gets to
specify a password when he is requesting a backup and restore, and the
server side simply stores and returns the password protected record
store. This approach would probably not work too well in attempting to
transfer the backups from one handset model to another (e.g. if they
have different implementations of RecordStore); however, it works well
with the same or related models (e.g. I just finished a backup from a
Nokia E61, and restored it into a Nokia E61i).

Cheers,

Alex Kotchnev

Laszlo, 
   attached are the updates to JFreeSafe that I had
mentioned in a previous email. Please let me know
if/when you update the sourceforge CVS so that I can
check it out. These changes worked OK when I built it
with the release sources (and not cvs sources). 

   Let me know if you have any questions. I have some
screenshots of what the changes look like on my blog
at
http://akochnev.blogspot.com/2006/07/jfreesafe-updates.html
.

Laszlo, 
   I sat down and made a few additions to my local
copy of jFreeSafe : the screenshots and the general
descriptions are on my blog at
http://akochnev.blogspot.com . I would like to commit
them back to the project, let me know if you want me
to submit a patch through sourceforge/email, or if you
could add me as a project member. 

   I was wondering, what is the direction in which you
would like to develop the project ? I remember seeing
it somewhere that backup was a priority. I also saw a
couple of classes for communicating with the server,
which sounds like a great idea... Let me know, and I
would love to contribute..

   Here a couple of ideas about what could be added to
the project:
1. Add categories (and category management) for each
entry. In my case, for example, I have too many
entries and it would be nice to be able to categorize
them (e.g. personal, work passwords, etc) and be able
to view the entries only in a particular category
2. Integration with PIM APIs (if supported on the
phone) : e.g. being able to hook up the entry to
someone in your address book
3. Messaging API support : reset the password with a
text message
4. (It seems like you already had this)
Synchronization/backup to a server
5. Filesystem APi support : being able to back up and
restore to a memory card.

   Let me know what your thoughts are on this. 

Thanks, 

Alex K

Laszlo, 
   sorry for the disturbance. I was able to
successfully modify,build, and install the app using
the 0.2.7 source. I was originally checking the app
from cvs and getting the 0.2.6.1 sources, which I was
able to get to build the jar; however, I was getting
an "Invalid jar" message when I attempted to install
the jar. After installing 0.2.7, I did notice that on
the site you had a notice that there were some
problems installing 0.2.6.1... is that the same
problem or something different ? 

   I was thinking that I should post this type of
message in the mailing list as I thought it might be
useful for anyone else having a similar type of
problem. 

Thanks, 

Alex K

Yes, sure. The application seems mature enough to have some documentation
on it.

Well, that's a problem with MIDP and the concrete MIDP implementation.
With not-so-smart phones you'll have this problem with any midlet. I have
a Nokia 9210 and if I install a new version of a midlet, it keeps the old
as well. And of course, as with most smart phones I can copy the password
database (manually) from the old version to the new one. But you need a
file manager application in order to do this, and you don't have that in a
Nokia 6230.

Yes, actually I've been thinking of it since the beginning, but nobody has
ever requested it, as I think most users use jFreeSafe with smart phones.
But it seems that the not-so-smart phones also get a momentum :), so I'll
implement this feature. The only solution I could come up with is that you
install a simple server software on your PC (which must have an internet
connection of some kind) and then you backup your password phone database
to it over the internet. You can then install the new version and restore
the database to that. 

I'll implement this in the next version (which means that you won't be
able to migrate your data from 0.2.6 to 0.2.7).

Hi,

Could I please request a bit more documentation?  I just installed 0.2.6 
and hadn't realised I would lose all my data that I'd entered in 0.2.5.  
Will it ever be possible to migrate passwords between versions/new 
installations?

I'm running it on a Nokia 6230.

Regards,
Simon
