How do I dump an SQLite database?

@alexeps2014

The easiest way would be to use .dump, for example:

sqlite3 dbname.db .dump > dbname.bak

You can either cd in to the directory where the database is, or call the direct path during execution.

For example, if your database is located at:

/home/sqlite/teamspeak3.db

and you wanted to backup the database to

/usr/local/src/teamspeak3.bak

you’d use:

sqlite3 /home/sqlite/teamspeak3.db .dump > /usr/local/src/teamspeak3.bak
