<p>Tgaillar: Explained file suffix naming, with credit to pruss and his famous NVBackup software for the (now outdated) PalmOS5 devices... ;-)</p> <hr /> <div>Classic appears to store PRCs/PDBs in:<br /> &lt;source lang=&quot;text&quot;&gt;/var/lib/palmos/datamgr/PALM_DM&lt;/source&gt;<br /> You should be able to copy files from this location to /media/internal or elsewhere to maintain a backup should you decide to either do a Hard Reset of Classic, or a Hard Reset of the Pre. When either backing up or restoring in this directory, you must close Classic first. Failure to do so could yield unexpected results.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> A directory listing of of a clean (just after reset) /var/lib/palmos/datamgr/PALM_DM:<br /> &lt;source lang=&quot;text&quot;&gt;root@castle:/var/lib/palmos/datamgr/PALM_DM# ls -al<br /> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 10 13:52 .<br /> drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 10 13:52 ..<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 10 13:52 AddressDB_81800000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3072 Aug 10 13:52 CalendarDB%2DPDat_80D80000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2560 Aug 10 13:52 Camcorder%5FLoader%2DCoLo_80205000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2560 Aug 10 13:52 Camera%5FLoader%2DCmLo_81028000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 148992 Aug 10 13:52 CarrierProfiles2_81000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17920 Aug 10 13:52 ContactsANIndex%2DPAdd_80E0C000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17920 Aug 10 13:52 ContactsBDIndex%2DPAdd_80E0C000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Aug 10 13:52 ContactsDB%2DPAdd_80D80000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 10 13:52 DatebookDB_80C00000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3072 Aug 10 13:52 Graffiti%20ShortCuts_80420000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 10 13:52 HSTraceDatabaseHead_E1010000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2560 Aug 10 13:52 HSTraceDatabase_E1000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3072 Aug 10 13:52 HsSysResource68K_A4010000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 10 13:52 MemoDB_8C000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3072 Aug 10 13:52 MemosDB%2DPMem_86C00000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3072 Aug 10 13:52 NVInfo%2Dpsys_E0000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2560 Aug 10 13:52 NetworkDB_81800000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 260096 Aug 10 13:52 NetworkProfiles2_81000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 10 13:52 PIMsSupportStatus%2DpdmE_E8100400<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3584 Aug 10 13:52 Queries_80000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 262144 Aug 10 13:52 ReserveFile<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3584 Aug 10 13:52 Saved%20Preferences_82000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 10 13:52 System%20DB%20Chain%20Head_81A08000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3072 Aug 10 13:52 TasksDB%2DPTod_86C00000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 10 13:52 ToDoDB_AC000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3072 Aug 10 13:52 Txn%20Log%2050416464_88000000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3584 Aug 10 13:52 Unsaved%20Preferences_80800000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2560 Aug 10 13:52 dfltCapRes%2DpoCL_09060000<br /> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 88064 Aug 10 13:52 psysLaunchDB_08300000<br /> &lt;/source&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> The file suffix is a binary bitmap showing which letters in the file name are capitals, a technique formerly used (created?) by NVBackup[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=92189&amp;package_id=186018], a powerful backup utility for NVFS-based PalmOS devices like the Centro, Treo 600+, Palm T5, TX, TE2 and LifeDrive created by [[pruss]][http://pruss.mobi] (see his explanation in 1SRC forum[http://www.1src.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1073332&amp;postcount=24]).</div>
