sqlite-backup

sqlite-backup creates safe backups of live SQLite databases using SQLite's online-backup API.

Install from Git

Install the latest version directly from the Git repository with uv:

uv tool install "git+https://github.com/ojeker/sqlite_backup.git"

To install a particular release, append its Git tag:

uv tool install "git+https://github.com/ojeker/sqlite_backup.git@v0.1.0"

Replace v0.1.0 with the tag you want to install. uv downloads a compatible Python version when needed and makes the sqlite-backup command available on your machine.

Use the command

sqlite-backup SOURCE_DATABASE DESTINATION_DATABASE

For example:

sqlite-backup app.db backups/app.db

Run sqlite-backup --help to see all available options.
