Terrific!

Does this mean a cron job to copy the Palm pdbs to the rescue directory once
a day will allow them to be automatically reinstalled if the Palm crashes?

PS - what are the other default directories for? eg archive & Attic since
backup seems to be the main operating directory

 I'm going to implement the autorescue option.

 Here are my thoughts.. if someone has suggestions, critics or
 anything else, feel free to send an email.

 A new directory will be created: ~/.palm/rescue . When hotsyncing
 in daemon mode, coldsync will check if userid == 0. If true,
 any file in /rescue will be copied to /install.

 If autoinit is also enabled, it will be executed before autorescue.

 This approach allow us to obtain the rescue functionality
 without changing too much code in coldsync. Moreover,
 any db in /install will get a chance to have it's install conduit
 run after the upload.

 This will obviously work only if the autoinit feature is enabled
 and worked correctly, since coldsync need to have an exact
 match on the username to find the right rescue directory.

 An option would be to have a global, site-wide, rescue directory
 (/var/lib/coldsync/rescue ?) whose content will
 be installed early in the coldsync process. However,
 install conduits will not be run on those files.

P.S. Should this feature be also active in normal sync mode?
If yes,  should files in /var/lib/coldsync/rescue uploaded as well?
