SQLite in WAL mode which you want for server apps is multiple files.

Files which you cannot just copy while your application is running if you want a correct backup.

Vacuum into or .backup work perfectly with a running, WAL enabled db.

  • At which point there’s little difference from any other database’s backup commands.

    • I don't think you can install "any other database" by pasting one file in a direcory somewhere? Even if you can produce such a backup with the same command.
