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
I need assistance to prevent my database from being stored as backup. I
unchecked the Set Backup Bit in mytarget Settings, but that does not seem to
work and the pdb file is getting stored in backup. I tried to remove the
backup bit through the following code, but still the pdb file is
Is there a way to set the database backup bit so that the database will get
backed up AFTER the database has already been created and populated with
record?. IE. It was created without the bit set.
Regards,
Kevin

Everytime I get a PDB off either the handheld or the POSE, the backup bit is
set to true.
Is there a way to get a version of the pdb to my PC without the backup bit
set??

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
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

DmSetDatabaseInfo -
I set the backup bit on a newly created record database using the following
code under OS 3.5:
DmDatabaseInfo(cardNo, dbID, NULL, &dbAttributes, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
dbAttributes |= dmHdrAttrBackup;
DmSetDatabaseInfo(ca
You can turn it off your self by using the bitwise exclusive operator.

Thanks for your response, Steve. Unfortu
I have the following code setting and unsetting the backup bit of a
database:
Err err;
UInt iAttrib;
err = DmDatabaseInfo( 0, idDatabase, NULL, &iAttrib, NULL, NULL, NULL,
NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );
if( err )
{
ErrDisplay( "DmDatabaseInfo FAIL" );

Hello everyone,
This is a simple problem. I have a checkbox that when ticked causes the
backup bit for a database to be set and when unticked causes the backup bit
to be unset. The problem is that I don't know the syntax for unsetting the
backup bit:
error = DmDatabaseInfo(0, dbID,
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
I copyed a PDB file that was on the PDA by seting its backup bit using
FileZ.
Now I have the PDB file on my PC but I want to reset the backup bit
(directly in the PDB file on the PC)
I know there is at leas one utility that does that but I can't remember it's
name.
I did some search b
Sorry I'm new and can't figure it out.
Thanks,

Never mind. I, of course, realized my mistake 30 seconds after posting.

I don't think that you want that either. It will toggle the backup bit, but not
necessarily force it to off,
Try iAttrib &= ! dmHdrAttrBackup;

Still not quite right...
iAttrib &= ~dmHdrAttrBackup;
You need a bitwise NOT operation (~), not a logical one (!).

Actually my intent was just to toggle the backup bit state back and forth.
It's going to be a user controlled option.
