If you have Backup in your list of active conduits, a backup of your
AddressBook.pdb should be in ~/.pilotmgr/Backup/LatestArchive/ (or whatever
the appropriate directory is, according to your setup). You can restore it
using the Installer conduit, or pilot-xfer with the -i option.
I just had a crash yesterday, and pilot-xfer -r did the restoring job
beautifully (better than Installer, because you don't have to manually select
which files to install, you just tell it the directory where they are).
Cheers,
