I'm wondering if anyone has any experience dealing with the "Automatic Database Backup and Restore" feature supported by PalmOS.
You can read about it here: http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/palmos/PalmOSCompanion/FilesAndDatabases.html#1032439 Here is the description from that page, "Various versions of Palm OS can be configured by a licensee to back up the contents of the RAM storage heaps to some sort of non-volatile NAND flash." I'm thinking that this could be useful for our application, but I am having trouble figuring out what Palm devices it is supported by. Does any Palm OS device that has a flash card slot support this feature, or is it only enabled in a select few devices? I've been running the FtrGet() function that checks to see if a feature is supported, but every Palm I've run the function on tells me that the feature is not supported, including a Tungsten V, and Treo 650. I'm using this function call to find out of a given device supports it: FtrGet(sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumDmAutoBackup, (UInt32*)&prefs) If anyone has further insight into doing programmatic backups to a flash card, I'm all ears :) -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
