Mobility Site - View Single Post - Backups and Data Loss Due to Dead Battery

I recently left my axim idle for a few days and when I returned I found that it had hard reset, I guess I left something running that drained the battery. I understand why this happens, but it does seem like a pretty silly way to do things, I imagine it confuses most new users.

Anyway Im looking for a solution to prevent this happening again, it seems to me as though there are a few ways to backup data.

1. Take a ROM Backup.
2. Use the Data Backup Program that comes with the axim.
3. Use a thrid party backup program.

But what exactly is backed up by these methods, and what do third party backup programs backup that DataBackup program doesnt?

Lastly is there a program that that monitors the battery level and automatically creates a backup if it gets low, so that if you leave your axim for a few days you can return and restore the backup. If there isnt I may have to create one.
