UltraLite PALM_ALLOW_BACKUP connection parameter

Controls backup behavior over HotSync, which is disabled in UltraLite by default.

Syntax

PALM_ALLOW_BACKUP={ yes | no }

Default

Remarks

This connection parameter is supported for desktop backup using the UltraLite HotSync conduit for Palm OS devices.

On Palm, you can back up the database to desktop using HotSync. In most UltraLite client applications, data is backed up by synchronization. There is no need to use informal backups to the desktop. Therefore, the UltraLite runtime disables Palm's backup behavior. However, if your deployment explicitly requires that HotSync back up the UltraLite database to the desktop while it is also being synchronized, use this connection parameter to override the UltraLite default.

Once you have enabled backups for HotSync, you do not need to configure backups in ULDBUtil. Backups occur with each synchronization attempt until you disable them.
