     Thank you for your help.  However, I do set the backup bit for all
data files programmatically.  I cannot seem to find the .pdb files anywhere
on the hard disk after a HotSync, however.  Of course, with backupbuddy
everything is all peachy, but...I think something this basic should
be doable with the standard software.
