Backup/Restore of configuration #125

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

I just managed to install my own slightly patched version of connectbot on
my device, but of course I had to do a full uninstall first, losing all
application data.

Of course I could have deleted the passphrase on my ssh key and pasted it
to a file, but I don't see a reason why it should not be possible to keep
the encrypted ssh-key on the sdcard in binary form.

And why not export the full configuration to the sdcard?

Why not simply provide an option to store the configuration on the card? If 
security concerned, we can use a "master" password to protect it

When my Moto Droid decided to factory reset itself last weekend, all 12 of my 
ConnectBot configurations got lost. Would love a capability to backup 
to/restore from SD.

each time I want to update cyanogen I loose all 50 of my configured hosts... 
takes me hours to put them all back in. Please people... this is ridiculous!

workaround: with cyanogen you have root and can easily backup/restore your 
whole /data/data/*connectbot*

Its 2 years since anything has been made on this post, for us users who do not 
root our phones are there any plans of back up/restore to/from SD card or 
device?

I've got a lot of ˋpost login scripts´ to control my raspberry pi xbmc from 
my android phone. Would be great to have a way to export/import them to other 
android devices and also keep them safely backed up. Shouldn't be too difficult 
or dangerous, is it?

Time to go to some other software. Backup of settings should have been done by 
now!
