Found two shell scripts that allowed me to take an earlier backup and restore it.
Here inline are the two script contents
For backup
sudo pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -b $HOME/jpilot/backup
For restore
sudo pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -r $HOME/jpilot/backup
I jpilot does not work for you put this file into /etc/udev/rules.d
name of file is 10-visor.rules
content is:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]",SYMLINK+="pilot"
(as a single line)
And if it still does not work...
Add one line to the bottom of the following file.
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
/sbin/modprobe --firsttime visor
