Everything in Fossil is stored in artifacts. The DB serves as artifact
storage, indexing of artifacts and a convenient cache of data from the
artifacts. All the artifacts could be dumped into files, then later, a new
DB could be constructed from the artifacts.

As long as your repository is not exchanging ticket updates with another,
the DB tables should retain all the information.
