Fixed chunkinfo and RAllocatorHelper crashes. Details: * Tidied leak docs * Updated dialog command to workaround text windowserver bug and implement DIALOG_IMPL as an enum option. Also tried to support dismissing the dialog with CTRL-C but ended up just printing a warning as the notifier API is broken * Fixed RAllocatorHelper::OpenChunkHeap() (and thus chunkinfo <address>) and took Adrian's latest changes. * Fixed chunkinfo OOM problem

==name backup

==short-description

Put the handset into backup mode.

==long-description

A means of requesting backup aware modules to close their file handles. Note, this command does not actually B<perform> a backup, it merely prepares the system for one. It can be useful if you want to copy a file that is normally held open by a running process. Another strategy if this doesn't work (note, not everything is backup aware) is to do something like:

  kill -m some-process && cp some-file .

==see-also

L<restore|restore>

==argument enum operation

The required operation to perform.

==enum-value start

Request that all backup aware modules release their file handles and prepare for a backup.

==enum-value stop

Request that all backup aware modules reclaim their file handles.
