INTRODUCTION
 MobileBackup can back-up and/or restore (or import) Contacts and Calendar (Events and ToDos) into a file on mobile phones supporting the PIM and FileConnection API (JSR 75).
 The backup file is a normal text file containing entries according to the vCard and vCalendar standard plus optional information about the exact origin of the entries (e.g. SIM or Telephone).
 
 > Before starting
 To function, the application needs access to read and modify your data (file on memory card, contacts etc.). You must give it these permissions before using it. On Nokia: locate the application > Options > Application Access > Data Access, set both Read User Data and Add and Edit Data to Ask Every Time.
 
----------
CONFIGURATION
 > Set backup root
 Set the "disk" where to store a backup or read it from. This is usually C:\ for the phone and E:\ (default) for a memory card.
 
 > Set debug
 Provide less or more (default) information on what's going on.
 
----------
BACKUP
 Backs up contacts, events, and TODOs to (unless you changed the backup root) Memory Card/Backup/Backup-<today's date>.txt. You will be asked several times to grant it access to your Contacts/Calendar. It may take few minutes, be patient.
 Note: The application should be able to create the necessary folder Backup. If not, create it manually.
 
----------
RESTORE/IMPORT
 This functions reads vcard (contact) and/or vcalendar (events, TODOs) records from the file (unless you changed the backup root) Memory Card/Backup/Backup.txt and appends them to your contacts and calendar. It doesn't delete or modify any existing data. You will be asked to confirm import of every single record (phone security limitation).
 The Backup.txt can be created by renaming the file produced by backup or you can create it manually from VCARD and VCALENDAR entries created by any application supporting the standard, only the phone must support the same version. Thus it can be used to import new data. Create a backup first and check it.
 To put record into a specific list (such as SIM or Telephone for contacts) you may separate entries with a marker line like '# Contacts SIM'.
