To backup the vcards of a user call

java -jar vcard.jar -user <username>

e.g.
java -jar vcard.jar -user johnd

The effect will be that the vcards of the user will be downloaded from the carddav server as specified in the user's settings and saved in vcard files in the specified backup directory.

For each user e.g. John Doe (johnd)
the settings for the carddav access can be specified in an .vcard/.ini file
e.g. .vcard/johnd.ini
with the following information

• host e.g. https://dav.doe.com
• path e.g. /remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/johndoe/default
• backup e.g. /Users/jd/backup/Contacts
• username e.g. johnd
• password e.g. uCtE0kklvnb$#9537
• title e.g. "John Doe's address book"

so

# Properties for vcard
# JD 2019-05-04
username=johnd
password=uCtE0kklvnb$#9537
host=https://dav.bitplan.com
path= /remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/johndoe/default
backup=/Users/jd/backup/Contacts
title=John Doe's address book

is a valid ini file.

For a given user get the list of all VCard References (DavResource List) and check the modification state. For new and modified cards copy the vcard from the server for untouched cards load the vcard from the local backup.

A map of all VCards is available for further work after this step.
