If you're trying to copy a file while connections still have it open
then you should use SQLite API calls to do it. The obvious ones are
in the SQLite Online Backup API, which is the set of calls underlying
the '.backup' command you mentioned. You can find documentation for
this here:
`ATTACH` and iterating over all tables with `INSERT INTO SELECT` is how `VACUUM
INTO` is implemented (see src/vacuum.c).
A less complicated way to back up the database might be to run `BEGIN` followed
by `PRAGMA user_version` to acquire a read lock, after which you can safely
copy the database

That
If the php sqlite bindings are incomplete and don't support the backup
functions, write a small program in C that uses them to copy a database,
and execute that from the php code?

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your thoughts. Sorry, I should have been clearer: I have no
way of knowing if there are other open connections to the file - there
may be as it's a web-application. So I'll assume there are connections.
At this point I'm starting to think that the best option is to
