RE: Does Palm desktop software have a full backup?

[Alexander Hinds]

Frank-

The easiest thing to do is to set the backup bit on all your programs that
the user installs and any data files your programs creates.

For the former, if you're using MW, it's an option in one of the linker
panels.  If you're using GCC, it's fairly easy to write a post-build command
that just sets the appropriate bit in the output PRC.

For the latter, call PalmOS call DmSetDatabaseInfo() to set the backup bit
for your "data files" after creating them on the palm device.  (You could
also use this technique to set the backup bit for program files).
