Application Idea: Keychain/Photo Backup and Restore

Posted in Application Ideas at 7:19 pm by David Sisson

Practically anyone who has hacked their iPhone is going to lose their keychain and photos when performing an upgrade.  It seems quite straight forward to create an application to back this information up as well.

The keychain information seems to be stored in /var/root/Library/Keychains, the photos would seem to be stored in /var/root/Media/Photos.  A simple application could take that information and back it up somewhere.   After upgrading (and reinstalling the application probably using Installer.app) the same application could restore it for you.

Anyone up to the task?  I plan to just back things up manually using ssh for now…
