Does Palm desktop software have a full backup?

[Frank S. Fejes]

     Hello all.  Being a Linux user I have become accustomed
to using the pilot-link tools to easily backup and restore.
However, we have released a piece of software that really
REQUIRES people to back it up (as it works with financial
information) and, in the process of documenting how one
can perform a simple backup and restore I have discovered
that it appears the Palm desktop software does not do this.
     I *must* be missing something here and feel free to
hit me over the head if I am.  But, is there a way to do
a full backup of all software on the Palm, including
3rd party utilities?  Thanks.
