3.2.1. Databases become corrupted after a sync, what should I do?

Certain databases (from third-party software manufacturers) appear not to follow the standard database layout. If you can find out what the creator id of the database is, you can add it to either the Backup Only list or the Skip list in the settings dialog.

The following table shows which databases should be skipped or backed-up only:

Table 3-2. Databases needing Special Treatment

Database | Creator ID | Action
--- | --- | ---
Launcher (the PalmPilot™'s main menu) | lnch | Backup Only
Arranger | Arng | Backup Only
(unknown) | PmDB | Backup Only
AvantGo | avgo | Skip (Mostly because there's no point in backing up the news articles that AvantGo gives you)

3.2.2. Is there a conduit for Netscape® Calendar?

No, there isn't. Neither are there plans to include support or write a conduit for Netscape® Calendar.
