So i mentioned the name before in this thread, but perhaps that was too vague and as i posted already details in other
threads months ago i'm doing it here again. It's
not exactly "IPK" saving, but simple save and recover of installed apps on webOS devices with PDK-hybrid app:
L\'Haut-Parleur mybackup
- download mybackup.zip
- copy unzipped hybrid/PDK file to USB partition
- Login via novaterm or on device wterm as root (Default exec command: login -f root)
- cd /
- /media/internal/mybackup starts the PDK app
- select BACKUP and wait from 10-40minutes depending on appcount/size an devicespeed
- all apps are stored/gzipped seperatly in /media/internal/mybackup
Restore:
- To restore make filesystem writeable:
- mount -o rw, remount /
- cd /
- /media/internal/mybackup
- whatever of the backupfiles is still in the mybackup folder will be restored when using button RESTORE instead of BACKUP so can selectivly restore apps.
Backup/Restore tested on 1.4.5
Backup tested on 2.2.4
did not test on 3.x
Please post if this works in cross-webos-version scenario (2.x to 3.x) or even to openwebOS.
Running time of backup:
Pre1- : Saving all apps it had a runtime of 40minutes for 270MB data @146 Apps (be sure to have it on the touchstone)
Pre3: Saving all apps it had a runtime of 10minutes for 315 MB data @142 Apps
