Path for Calendar data

[donaldfr]

Does anybody know the path for where the default calendar application stores its data?  I\'d like to manually back it up to a flash card, but cannot find the file.

Thanks!

What unit and ROM are you using?  On my 5500 with Sharp ROM 3.10 (similar to a 5600 with the stock Sharp ROM), the databook information is stored in /home/zaurus/Applications/dtm/.

I\'m using an 860.  For some reason I can\'t cd into the Zaurus directory, even as su.  I get \"can\'t cd into /zaurus

By the way, there is a nice tool called zdbat to access this file from the command line so you could do an ASCII backup.
It can be found which much Japanese and some english description at:

Again, I\'m assuming the filesystem layout is similar to my 5500, but there is no /zaurus directory, it\'s located at /home/zaurus.  You could cd into it using one of these two methods:

Code: [Select]

$ cd /home/zaurus

Code: [Select]

$ cd /home

$ cd zaurus
If you put a slash before zaurus in the second example, it will give you the error message you describe.  That\'s because in Linux/Unix, a leading slash means the top-level directory (aka root).

You should be able to cd into it whether or not you are root, assuming it exists on the 860.

Oops.  Thanks for the help.

You\'re welcome.  Don\'t worry about it... remember that even the most experienced Linux gurus were all newbies once!   (Not that I am one.)
