I installed rsync from Cydia on my Jailbroken iPhone 4 running 4.3.3.

Then I backed up the iPhone using this command from my Linux PC:

rsync -av root@192.168.1.4:/ /local/dir/iPhone/RsyncBackup/

It worked perfectly.

I installed the Cydia app SBSchedule but now want to try MyProfiles instead. Since they do similar things there would be -I guess- a conflict. So before installing MyProfiles I'm intending to delete SBSchedule from my iPhone, but I already paid for it. So...

1) If I decide that I don't want MyProfiles will I be able to restore SBSchedule from the Rsync backup which I made?

2) How would I go about doing so? Which directories and files would need to be restored? Is it just as simple as restoring the app directory below, or are there other files I would need to restore as well? (I'm not asking for the rsync command, just the files/dirs which Jailbroken apps are stored in. I am also not worried about losing my current SBSchedule settings).

/var/stash/Applications.pwn/SBSchedule.app

Many thanks.
 
You're making it too complicated--just redownload it from Cydia with your same account; you won't be charged if you already paid.

Yes you're right - I didn't realize that. :eek:

Thanks for setting me straight.
