If you set the backup attribute bit on the database when you create it, 
then it will be backed up at the next HotSync every time it has been 
modified on the device. Viola!

FWIW, you can use another 3rd-party app that can modify the attribute 
bits to accomplish the same thing for ANY database. My favorite for 
this is ZarfCatalog.
