Hi there,

I was wondering (and searching different boards) if there is no option to copy files from internal/sdcard flash by schedule. I do a titanium and sms backup every sunday and would like zip/rar these folders and copy the saved archives to any folder on my network (a nas, which I have already mounted in my android).

Commandline with the terminal emulator wouldn´t be a problem, but I dont know how to run scripts by schedule.

Edit: If someone knows how to copy these archives to the installed dropbox sync, this would be awesome too!

Thanks!

For scheduled commandlines , google for cron / cronjob.

Well I did a simple script with GScript Lite and copied the dirs to a smb-share which I mounted with mountmanager. Did work pretty well, but then I stumbled up on the DropSpace-App which works exact the way I want to.

Thanks anyway, darken
