[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Feature Request Palmsync

[Tony Silveira]

Here's my 50c about this.

That's the problem with the Mac conduit...you cannot change the direction of
the sync. You can do that both with the Palm and the Entourage Conduits but
not with the Mac iSync (Unless you delete the Device and you will be
prompted with a Menu that will allow you to choose the sync direction but
it's annoying to do that all the time). Until now I subscribed to .Mac and
that helps to backup things. This year I will probably give up of .Mac and I
will have to trust in a little Palm application that saved me several times
and it's called "BackupMan". It saves all your information to the SD Card
and it can restore everything or just a specific database. I have BackupMan
doing a daily backup and once in a while I save a specific Backup file. I
hope this helps.
