I put Backup at the end, so all changes made during the sync get backed up
too.

Probably not actually.  The reason is that the pilot isn't too smart about
knowing if a db has really been modified, so it tells pilotmgr to update the
backup even if you just *open* and read the calendar on your pilot, but make
no changes.
(I don't think a SyncCM run with no changes would case Backup to do a backup,
 but it's possible as this is also a read operation touching the db)..

hmm.. not sure.  maybe 1 appt on cm falls outside your sync date range?
