Warning: I haven't tested this yet, but Bharat agrees it looks right.
The instructions are for version 1.009-BETA-4 only (although they
should adapt to other versions):
I'm disappointed that Backup doesn't back everything currently on my 
Pilot up at all times; I lost several new databases when my Pilot
crashed because I hadn't revisited the Backup configuration screen
after having installed the new databases.  (You have to select the new
databases as "active" because Backup doesn't do it automagically;
it knows about the new databases, but they're made "inactive", so
don't get transferred.)
Well, that's easily fixed; if you prefer the "back it all up" behavior,
you can get new databases to automatically become active backup 
candidates, by changing line 375 of Backup.pm as follows:
At line 375 in Backup.pm, change 
	push(@{$PREFS->{"inactive"}}, $db);
to
	push(@{$PREFS->{"active"}}, $db);
	
Happy backing up.
