sqliteHow do I create a backup of my SQLite database?
Creating a backup of your SQLite database is a simple process.
- First, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where your database is located.
- Then, use the
.backupcommand followed by the name of the backup file and the name of the database you wish to back up.
sqlite> .backup my_backup.db my_database.db- This will create a backup of the database in the same directory, with the name you specified.
- You can also specify a path for the backup file, if you wish to save it in a different directory.
sqlite> .backup /home/user/my_backup.db my_database.db- If the backup was successful, you should see the following message:
Backup completed in 0.063 seconds- You can also use the
.dumpcommand to back up your database. This command will create a SQL script of your database, which can be used to re-create the database.
sqlite> .dump > my_backup.sql- To restore the database from the backup, you can use the
.readcommand.
sqlite> .read my_backup.sqlHelpful links
