NAME

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

       The  SMS backup format is text file encoded in current encoding of platform where Gammu is
       running.

       This file use ini file syntax, see ini.

SECTIONS

       The file consists of sections, whose name starts with SMSBackup. When creating the  backup
       file, three digits are appended to this text defining order. While reading the backup, any
       part after SMSBackup text is ignored and everything which begins with this  is  processed.
       So you can as well give the section name SMSBackupFoo and it will be processed.

       The  number  of messages in backup file is currently limited by GSM_BACKUP_MAX_SMS (100000
       at time of writing this document).

   SMSBackup section
       Each section interprets one physical  SMS  message  (eg.  one  message  part  in  case  of
       multipart messages).

   Decoded text
       For  SMS  backups  created  by  Gammu, there is a decoded text as a comment just after the
       section name:

          [SMSBackup001]
          ; This is message text

       The text can be split to more lines if it is too long or of original message included  new
       lines.

       NOTE:
          This  is  easiest way to get message text, however also the least reliable one, because
          it is stored in the comments in the file.
