Since you have a custom conduit, you could add an unrelated side effect to
it. I'd have the VFS manager poll for a mounted card, and if there, again
using the VFS manager, transfer the database to a dedicted folder on the
card (which it would automatically create if no such folder was on that
particular card) as a *.pdb file. In your app you could then provide a menu
command which would show the the contents of that folder and allow him to
transfer back in the .pdb file, which VFS automatically sets up the pdb file
as the former database, in effect giving you a reliable backup mechanism.

I developed an app which was saving some info into a database and a user
could Hotsync that data to a text file using a custom conduit. Sometimes a
customer would loose all the data when a PDA's battery died. The solution
is to use an external memory card and save data there, along with the app
itself, but Hotsync doesn't sync from the external memory. How can I
restore a main memory database from a file in the external memory? As I
understand, the external memory doesn't support the same database format
as the internal. Thanks.
