I am seeing the Backup bit being set on my application's PRC by the
Palm Desktop Quick Install.

It never changes unless you change it in code. The backup bit is used
by the backup conduit as part of the process to determine which
databases it should handle.
Whether anything actually gets backed up during a particular sync is
another question :-) Databases also have creation, modification and
last backup dates (actually a date/time since they are a count of
seconds from a base date), and modification number. AFAIK these are
what the backup conduit uses to determine if a backup is needed for a
given database (that has the backup bit set, and either has no conduit
for it's creator ID, or has a conduit and is not of type "DATA")
Cheers,
