  • I can not see the var folder.

  • @j3pf3y You need to get AFC2add in cydia. If you dont then "var" will not be there!

  • What are the advantages of backing up this way because it kinda looks like there are 2 much steps involved compared to itunes

  • @shalvin3000 If iTunes for some reson does not back it up.

  • dont forget to download iFile and apply hierarchy to the folders you are adding files to BEFORE using those apps. ie. messages, or contacts then respring.

  • I see more than 2 files on the adress book. Could you please tell me the EXACT name of the files

  • STOP SCREAMING TO ME I'M TRYING!!!

  • It's 1000x better to download "Open SSH" onto your iDevice and then download "WinSCP" onto your computer. Works much better, and is a lot more secure than what this guy is talking about.
