Either use a tool like Insider to set it or you can use this code
void setDatabaseBackupBit() {
LocalID theDBID;
UInt theCardNum;
Word theAttrs;
Err theError;
DmSearchStateType theSearchState;
// Find out what the DB ID and Card Number of our database are
theError = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator( true, &theSearchState, < you db
type>, <your db creator>, true, &theCardNum, &theDBID );
if (!theError)
{
// Get the attributes for our database
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);
}
}

That sounds great. How do I set the backup bit?
Thanks
