I get a task of completing a backup and restore application work like Handspring backup module. Scanning through the Palm Programmer's Manual, I found the ExgDB routine fit our needs. By using the ExgDBWrite, I can write out the internal database and store as file format. However, when I try to restore those file by ExgDBRead, the application failed to restore it all database. I learnt the "specail feature" of ExgDBRead from some past post of this forum, that the last record of the database should be handle with special care. And I can backup and restore most of the application after that, However, when I try to backup all the database in the Palm, and try to restore all of them, a number of problem occur. The main problme is, after restore all the database, I can't soft reset the device. ( Is it due to I have backup and restore some currently running application?) Other problems are: 1. How to restore special database eg. Graffiti ShortCut? which has a special attribute "dmHdrAttrOKToInstallNewer" 2. Did I go to the wrong direction of using the ExgDB for this application? 3. How is Hotsyn application handled the restore process? ( I have subscribe and ask for source of PalmOS in PalmOS's web page.. But still waiting feedback...) Any assistance and advice would be greatly appreciate.
