Hi there,
I am convinced that my datebookDB is broken.
My usual procedure to back up is to use pilot-link on my UNIX box, one day o got this:
sudo pilot-xfer -b pbk -p /dev/ttyU0
Listening for incoming connection on /dev/ttyU0... connected!

[+][28 ][date] Backing up 'DatebookDB'
[-][fail][date] Failed, unable to retrieve 'DatebookDB' from the Palm.
RAM backup complete. 28 files backed up, 0 skipped, 1 file failed.
Thank you for using pilot-link.
The palm then resets itself.
I then tried using the proper windows software, the sync hangs on "syncing calendar".
I then downloaded dbfixit and ran it on datebookdb, it resets the pda.
I then used filez to try to move the file to a different filename to diagnose the problem further. Guess what happens..... Yeh the TX resets.
There is an awful lot of data in the pda which i dont want to lose and i have been infrequent backup up (doh. lesson learnt). The calendar app does still work, so atleast I could write down all the info and reinput after a hard reset.
Does anyone have any ideas before I do that?
Thanks
