Palm Allow Backup parameter

Function 

Control backup behavior over HotSync on Palm devices.

Syntax 

For information about using the connection parameter, see Specifying connection parameters.

Usage 

Used when you configure a database.

Values 

yes or no.

Description 

If the backup bit is set on the UltraLite database, and if this parameter is set to yes, the entire Palm database is backed up every time the device is synchronized using HotSync. If this parameter is not set, UltraLite ensures that the backup bit is cleared. In most applications, data is backed up by synchronization, so there is no need to set this parameter.

The backup bit is set when a database file is deployed by HotSync, and can also be set by the ULUtil utility. For more information, see The UltraLite Palm utility.

Example 

The following string sets the parameter.

#define UL_STORE_PARMS UL_TEXT("palm_allow_backup=yes")
