NAME

       gammu-backup - gammu(1) backup file format.

       The backup format is text file encoded in either ASCII or UCS-2-BE encodings.

       This file use ini file syntax, see ini.

EXAMPLES

       If you will backup settings to Gammu text file, it will be possible to edit it. It's easy: many things in
       this  file  will be written double - once in Unicode, once in ASCII. When you will remove Unicode version
       Gammu will use ASCII on restore (and you can easy edit ASCII text) and will convert it according to  your
       OS  locale. When will be available Unicode version of text, it will be used instead of ASCII (useful with
       Unicode phones - it isn't important, what locale is set in computer and no conversion  Unicode  ->  ASCII
       and ASCII -> Unicode is done).

       You  can  use  any  editor  with  regular expressions function to edit backup text file. Examples of such
       editors can be vim or TextPad which both do support regular expressions.
