Are you implying in your response to this question that you can't just replace 
the cblite2 database package and that you must read through the backup file, 
restoring to the current database with the contents of the backup file? Does 
that mean that you would then also have to delete all the documents created 
since the most recent document in the backup database?

Yes, if your purpose in backing up is to reset the database back to the state 
it was in at some past time (as opposed to just being able to restore the 
database later on in case of data loss.) In resetting back to a past state, you 
are fighting against the replicator, whose job it is to update to the latest 
state available on the server. That’s why you can’t just restore the database 
file — it contains old revisions that will be replaced by newer ones from the 
server.
