You have to set the Database backup bit. When you sync after that, a copy
will be put in your palm/<user profile>/backup directory

You can either do it programmatically using DmSetDatabaseInfo

        DmDatabaseInfo(theCardNum, theDBID, NULL, &theAttrs, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
        
        // Set the backup flag
        theAttrs |= dmHdrAttrBackup;
        
        // Set the attributes
        DmSetDatabaseInfo(theCardNum, theDBID, NULL, &theAttrs, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

 or you can download a tool called Insider. This allows you to set the
backup bit of databases with a click of your stylus.

Subject: Copy databases from Palm to PC


Hi,

How do I copy databases from the Palm to the PC?

I want to run my application once and have it create a few Palm 
databases and then take these databases and add them to my installer. 
The problem is, I don't know how to copy the databases from the Palm to 
PC.

Regards,
Chris
