NAME
pilot-xfer - backup and restore databases to and from a USR Pilot
SYNOPSIS
pilot-xfer /dev/cua? [commands]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page
documents the application
pilot-xfer.
pilot-xfer
allows the user to install databases contained in the stadnard .prc and .pdb
formats into a Pilot, retrieve databases from a Pilot, list the databases
contained in a Pilot, and backup or restore all of the databases at once.
Once the user has executed
pilot-xfer
the user must invoke HotSync on the target device.
OPTIONS
Several options exist, including "-b dir" which backs up the Pilot into the
specified directory (which will be created if it does not already exist),
"-r dir" which installs all files contained in a directory into the Pilot
(use this to restore your Pilot after a hard reset has cleared its memory),
"-i file" will install a file into the Pilot, and "-f dbname" will fetch a
database out of the Pilot. "-l" will list the databases in the Pilot.
"-p" purges any data that hasn't been cleaned up be a sync (this is a safe
operation, and will prevent your Pilot from accumulating crud if you delete
records but aren't syncing with the PIM. The only information you can lose is
archived but un-synced records.)
"-d dbname" lets you delete a particular database. Obviously, be careful
with this one.
USAGE
The program will connect to a target, and perform the quested database options.
