Are you right now thinking only to backup your data base on the device
or also somewhere on a remote location (PC, server)?
You could easily do a byte copy of your DB
//open your existing DB
InputStream dbStream = mContext.getAssets().open(<yourDBName>);
OutputStream backupDbStream = new FileOutputStream(<path+name of
your backup DB>);
//copy file from your existing DB to your backup DB
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = dbStream.read(buffer))>0){
backupDbStream.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
If you want to support backing up the DB on a remote system, you could
easily use the same mechanism.
