Been a long time since I used it (since it's been a long time since
I decided that the Palm came no where near being what I wanted in a
PDA, while the Newton--out of service and everything--was clearly
better), but I seem to recall that jpilot has specific backup and
restore functionality. It's the restoring to a PalmOS device other
than the one you originally backed up from that I'm not too sure
about.

In any case, John's "make a backup of the files on your desktop
first" advice is well-taken, I think, having managed at one point to
completely blow my Palm away with an errant rm. :^>
