There may be other ways to backup the database, but there is a built-in .dump command which will "dump" the entire contents data & schema into an SQL formatted, text file. This file can then be read back by sqlite to replicate the entire database.

Since an sqlite database is just a single file, that file can be backed up any way that you would back up any other file.

Cheers!

Are folks saying that sqlite3 does NOT come with a backup/restore utility? I would think that at least somewhat strange.
