My pleasure!

First of all: "Resco" is the name of the software company, not the name of one particular application. You need "Resco Backup", which is the backup application of that company. Other backup apps (like freeware NVbackup) don't work, because they assume a NVFS, which the GVM does not have. English version can be downloaded from here, links to versions in different languages are available as well. Copy the PRC to card (/media/mmcx/Palm/launcher/), it can be started from there after selecting category "Slotx" in the standard Palm launcher. Alternatively it can be loaded to RAM (using FileZ e. g.). Even when staying in RAM, and GVM is running, the scheduled backup does not reliably start automatically (at least this is my experience on my NT800), so I recommend frequent manual backups. In the preferences menu you can enter the location of your backup file. Then press the big "Backup" button - all finished.

In case of a crash you start Resco Backup from the card, press "restore", chose the backup file from the set of files (I have usually five backup sets present), and press "Reset" afterwards.

BTW: Resco Backup works with one particular HotSync name only. It you decide to install it with a NULL HotSync name, and switch your HotSync name afterwards (e. g. with the -u gvm start option), Resco Backup will not find you formerly created backup sets. You need the MultiUser hack to get Resco Backup working properly again.
