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 :)
I think Sony implemented such a functionality. Don't know if it has
something to do with the stuff you are talking about.
