One approach is to copy the database file.

Tactically, new File(getFilesDir(), "../databases") is the directory
where your database file resides. Copy it using ordinary Java I/O,
though I recommend you not hold any open SQLiteDatabase objects on the
database at the time.

Now, the database path location may change in future Android releases,
and I am not aware of a place in the API to get the path to a database
in a more official fashion. Hence, you will need to double-check with
each Android release to confirm they have not moved the databases
someplace else.
