You need to add one extra step--set the backup bit. Here's the code I use
with POL--it's straightforward to convert to use the API directly:

 UInt16 cardNo;
 LocalID dbID;
 UInt16 attributes;
 GetDbUniqueID(dbID);
 GetCardNo(cardNo);
 GetDbAttributes(cardNo, dbID, attributes);
 attributes |= dmHdrAttrBackup;
 SetDbAttributes(cardNo, dbID, attributes);
