Hi, I observe, that the backup time in pdb files in backup folder is only set for the standard DBs such as AddressDB.pdb, but not for arbitral DBs. Instead there the backup time is set to Jan 1 1904 - 07:00 UTC Is that intended? -Ulf

I suspect, you have misunderstood. I'm not talking about the file times in the file system. I'm talking about the 3 date fields in every PDB file header. These are "created date" "modified date" and "backup date". The last interesting one doesn't exist in filesystems by the way. It's a Palm file special field to log the date of the last backup from handheld to PC. In case of e.g. AddressDB.pdb it is updated to the valid value, but not in case of other PDB files from other Apps, in my case "PolyNote Items.pdb" or even "Messages Database.pdb". -Ulf
