When I edit the weewx database with the DB Browser for SQLite and finally click on Write change, I sometimes get the message that the write operation is blocked because the database is busy elsewhere. Therefore I imagine that copying is not possible as long as weewx is writing data to the DB, or the copy operation blocks a write from weewx to the database as well. An operation with the database prevents a second operation. If this is the case, it would not be necessary to stop weewx before copying.
