Backup Bit?

Hi all, My goal is to not have my application copied to the desktop computer during HotSync. I am finding conflicting documentation, postings, and real-world experience regarding the Backup Bit. Some docs say that not setting the Backup Bit will prevent a database from being backed up. Some

Re: Backup Bit?

As the Palm OS Programmer's API Reference says in regards to the dmHdrAttrBackup bit (one of the standard database attributes), "The database should be backed up to the desktop computer if no application-specific conduit is available." Any database that doesn't have this bit set won't be backed

Re: Backup Bit?

Greg, I appreciate the response. That matches half of the documentation that I have found, but not the other half, or what I observe in the real world. Specifically, MetroWerks CodeWarrior "Targeting Palm OS.pdf" says "The Set Backup Bit check box lets you force the HotSync softw

Switching backup bit for a database

Quick Install turning Backup bit on?

It appears that the act of installing our application's PRC via the palmOne Quick Install (Windows, v 1.1) is causing the BackUp bit to be set, even though I know the bit was not set when the PRC was built. Dragging the PRC onto a Simulator does not do this. Has anyone else seen this beh
