If by "internal memory" you mean
just any-old-where on your Axim, then
NO, but if you use the Compression option in Sprite and save it to your
BIS (Built in Storage, whis is
ROM), then YES it will still be there after a Hard Reset.
I personally have mine set to Backup every morning @ 5am (while I'm ZZZzzzing) to my SD Card. It goes to a selected Folder with a memory limit on the Folder (a Sprite option) set to accomodate a bit more than 2 backups.
So every morning it starts the backup, checks the destination Folder limits, sees there's not enough room and deletes the Oldest File (day-before-yesterday's) and commences to add todays new backup, while still maintaining yesterday's backup in the Folder.
So I always have the two most current backups available if I need them.
Here is specifically how mine is set up:

Code:

Options >
Backup Options >
Compressed, yes
Encrypted, no
Stop Processes, yes
Exclude, yes
Sprite Files, yes
Programs, no
Persistent, yes
Custom, none
Name Files Auto, yes
Maintain Prior, yes
Maximum amount of space, yes (40MB)
Maximum number of backups, yes, (2)

When, 4:00 (am)
File (Path), Name: Backup_2004-12-02 (name is auto selected)
Location: SD Card
Folder: Pocket Backups (Folder I created on SD Card)
Restart Device, yes |
My backups are less than 20MB, so when it goes to write a new file (in the Folder that currently has 2 backups totaling ~38MB in it), it deletes the "oldest" file there (day-before-yesterday's) and then writes the new one. If
one of your backups is bigger than 20MB (using a 40MB limit), it has no choice but to create enough room for the new file by deleting yesterdays, as well.
Try increasing your Limit to slightly more than TWICE one backup's size.
