I'm probably too late for you, but the command you likely want is
probably pilot-xfer --restore (with maybe some extra options to
specify port, etc.). Cf. man pilot-xfer.
The ~/.jpilot directory is small. A cron job to tar.gz it or commit it
to cvs every night doesn't use much disk space and can be helpful for
recoverying from bad things. Like the time someone accidentally
changed something on my palm. I do a text dump of my palm db's
nightly, too, so I can just diff two days' worth if I'm looking for a
change. Yes, this is excessive, but it satisfies some inner need.
