Most people think the HotSync will save the whole data contained on the Palm and this is enough to restore it after a power failure or other cause for data loss.
But the normal HotSync only saves the databases (all data/app is is internaly stored in databases) that has the so called "backup-bit" set.
Many 3rd party applications that store data on the palm do not set this bit, so the data isnīt HotSynced (I lost many SMSs and mails this way ...).
SyncAll fixes this problem.
SyncAll sets the backupbit of all databases every time the Palm is switched on (needs <1 second).
This causes the HotSync to save all (!) databases and not only some.
If you use SyncAll you could be sure to get back all the data after a data loss .... so better use it :)
