[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Document Backup

[Paul Charlesworth]

Ken:

I finally got around to testing this problem.  I Hard Reset the iPAQ 
2215 and attempted a connection. The unit connected fine and so I 
attempted a backup, which failed and re ported the following:

An error occurred (2) while backing up. All files may not have been 
backed up. You can view a log of the files that were backed up at 
/usr/MissingSync/var/backup.log



I reviewed the log, which is as follows:

13:24:16 webdav: listening on 57922
13:24:16 MissingSyncUI: newURL = http://localhost:57922/Pocket_PC
13:24:16 MissingSyncUI: escapedString = http://localhost:57922/Pocket_PC
13:25:37 asyncd: disconnecting

My computer is an Apple PowerBook G4-800 with 1GB Ram and Panther full 
version and Missing Sync 1.0.2.  I have not used Missing Sync With 
Jaguar, so cannot say whether it once worked.  All other features seem 
to work great, including the bluetooth syncing and surfing.

If you need any extra info, let me know.

Paul
