Alex,
Thanks for the clarification. I was sort of surprised that even if I couldn't open the SQLite database after doing a Voice Dream file library transfer using iTunes, that nothing showed up in Windows Explorer in the folder I selected to which to copy it. Maybe I didn't give iTunes enough time but I wasn't even hearing any disk activity after initiating the transfer.

It's an SQLite database, not a collection of files, so your computer probably won't be able to open it. VDR will back up to iCloud in the course of a normal automatic backup, though, so you have that assurance if you use iCloud.

Normally, if you want to transfer files on your iDevice to your computer, you have to use iTunes to do this with the File Sharing section of the Apps tab. I just connected my iPhone 6 to my computer, opened iTunes, navigated to Voice Dream in the File Sharing section of Apps, placed focus on the Voice Dream library which is the only thing shown in the files listed as being on Voice Dream, selected the Save To button, and navigated to a folder called Voice Dream on my external hard drive that I set up to hold these files. Even though I have many items in my Voice Dream library on my iPhone, nothing was shown in the Voice Dream folder on my computer when I completed this process. I also find it odd that I was unable to drill down into the Voice Dream library folder shown in the file sharing section of iTunes. This leads me to believe that you cannot transfer content from your Voice Dream library on your iDevice to your computer with iTunes. On the other hand, you could make sure that whenever you transfer content into Voice Dream using the app that you go through a cloud-based service such as Dropbox. That way, the files are backed up to the cloud and you could also access your Dropbox folder using your computer to copy them to another location on your computer for backup purposes. I'm sort of trial and erroring here so I welcome comments from others who know a lot more about Voice Dream than I do.

If this is possible, how? If this is not possible, how can I back up the library using iTunes on my Mac to just back up the library and nothing else? My iPad, where the library resides, has never been backed up to iTunes. And I don't want it to be.
