selective backup settings?

[Osma Ahvenlampi <osma ahvenlampi quartal com>]

Hi,

I've been using gnome-pilot for a while now, and with the mal-conduit, 
I'm quite happy with how it works. However, there is something I'd very 
much like to see - ability to selectively specify which bases 
should/should not be backed up by the backup conduit.

As it is, backup will spend quite a while every day copying the various 
AvantGo bases off my Palm while the next conduit to run, mal, will then 
replace the base contents with new stuff. Obviously, I have no use for 
the backups for those particular bases, while I very much want to have 
backups for most of the Palm.

I believe the Palm Desktop for Windows somehow bypasses the AvantGo 
backups by overriding those in the AvantGo conduit (at least it never 
seems to spend as much time backing up, but I haven't tried it in a 
while), so this functionality should be possible somehow. I'd be happy 
with a config option to say which bases should not be copied during the 
backup.

Thanks,

Osma
