I used that guide as a starting point to use WinSCP scripts to backup some of the things I want real copies of without iTunes. Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated. I have problems with iTunes, and other solutions I've seen don't *really* backup things without iTunes or only make lists of items to restore (thinking PkgBackup, AppBackup, AptBackup, Chronus). I keep copies of all my .ipa/.deb packages from Cydia and all other sources on my computer for easy/quick re-install of the actual apps and MediaMonkey for music.

I don't know for sure if this method will work to put all these items back, and probably not with the correct permissions yet, but it's a start to see if it's worth continuing after hearing from others. The below was done on Windows 7 and a iPhone 3GS, v4.1 firmware.

I use the below "iPhone_Sync.bat" file to launch WinSCP:

echo off

set local_dir=C:\iPhone\Backup\

C:\PROGRA~1\WinSCP\WinSCP.com /script=%local_dir%iPhone_Sync.txt /parameter %local_dir%

I created the directory/folder structure prior to using the above batch file and the WinSCP script below. It would be easy enough to create a batch file to create the folder structure if people think it worth continuing on using this method and further developing it.

Note: I plug my iPhone into my computer to charge at night, start a SSH USB tunnel using i-FunBox (which has lots of other features as well). This is a much faster backup than over WI-FI. Also note what WinSCP allows synchronizing so all files are not copied every time.

iPhone_Sync.txt (script file):

# Set default options, turn off first two for testing
option batch continue
option confirm off
option transfer binary

I was thinking of writing a script to copy everything back to the iPhone and one to create the directory/folder structure so it would actually be usable by others, but I'm looking for feedback from people who know more than me about this stuff.

I know I still need to add parameters for copying only when the iPhone version is newer. I use the -delete switch on synchronize so I only have what is currently on my iPhone and not what I deleted by another method previously.
