Like perhaps use backupman on my T5, install backupman in classic, copy over the backup data from the SD card to classic and then restore from the backup? Is that possible? It would probably be a lot easier to do a method like that instead of manually installing and transfering data between the two to get things up and running.

I want to use ThoughtManager, an outliner which creates and uses .pdb files. While I'm confident I could install all the .pdb files I have and use them in Classic, I can't get a straight answer from anyone about whether or not I can back up what I create/edit in Classic, to my computer for safekeeping.
Whenever my Palm or Treo REALLY crashed, I had backup data elsewhere. Classis is "flaky" and if it crashes hard, is all my data gone?
If data created in Classic (new/altered .pdbs) can't be backed up somehow, even manually, then using Classic for anything important would seem to be a big, unwise gamble.
Any PDBs stored on Classics's virtual internal card are available (exposed is their term) for copy/backup using the USB drive under <drive-letter>:\ClassicApps\PALM\Programs\<program-name>\.
