Hi,

What application is it? If you are after data files of the built-in
application, you'll find them under
<installation_directory>/Palm/<your_username_truncated>/datebook and the
like as .dat files.

If you are trying to control what gets installed and backed up in general,
have a look at:

<installation_directory>/Palm/<your_username_truncated>/Archive

and/or

<installation_directory>/Palm/<your_username_truncated>/Backup

and/or

<installation_directory>/Palm/<your_username_truncated>/Install


Hope this helps,
Roy
