Hi folks,

Thanks for the hint Thadeus and Massimo give in this post
  http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_frm/thread/d891a1e936599362

Yet I have one more relevant quick question. Does the
export_to_csv_file() and import_from_csv_file() solution also work
when one db is on gae? Actually I am looking for a way to backup and
restore the db of my production app. It should be straightforward if
the app is running on any shared host, but on GAE it seems I can not
easily get the entire db file. So is export_to_csv_file() and
import_from_csv_file() the only solution for gae? Thanks in advance.

Pseudo code.

if request.env.web2py_runtime_gae:
  db=DAL('gae')
else:
  db=DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite')

def download_db():
  return db.export_to_csv_file(...)
def upload_db()
  db.import_from_csv_file( a_csv_upload_just_now )
