How to backup and restore MMS _with_ picture?

[Markus H. <ma...@ju...>]

Hello all,

I'm pretty new to Wammu/Gammu and managed to get a connection to my 
Motorola V3 RAZR just yesterday, by disabling "update phone status". 
Without this, it would always timeout trying to receive signal strength. 
My OS is Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64, with the Gammu 1.31 package from Ubuntu 
12.04 installed manually.

My question however is, how would I join the contents of two V3s? For 
the phone book I can use Mac OS X 10.4's sync feature on another 
computer, with the loss of some meta-data. For pictures, there is 
moto4lin, for SMS, Wammu apparently works. However, MMSs contain a 
hyperlink only.

As these MMSs are pretty old (3 years) I don't expect the pictures can 
still be downloaded from the original server. So I'm looking for a 
procedure to find and re-join a MMS and its attached, cached picture.

Am I on the right track? Google didn't find useful hints for me, so 
perhaps I can find here somebody who already did this or something similar.


Thanks,
Markus
