Actually, if you set the backup bit on your streamed file, the backup
conduit will happily back them up like any other database.
It's safest to set the backup bit once the file has been closed:
// get the dbID so we can set backup bit after file is closed
dbID = DmFindDatabase( cardNo, nameStr );
// set backup bit on streamed file after it is closed
if (dbID)
{
DmDatabaseInfo( cardNo, dbID, NULL, &attributes, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );
attributes |= dmHdrAttrBackup;
DmSetDatabaseInfo( cardNo, dbID, NULL, &attributes, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );
}
