                You can use the standard SQLite <code class="literal">.dump</code>
                command to backup the data managed by the  BDB SQL interface.
            </p>
        <p>
                The BDB SQL interface supports the standard SQLite Online Backup API. 
                However, there is a small difference between the two interfaces.
                In the BDB SQL interface, the value returned by the <code class="literal">sqlite3_backup_remaining</code> method 
                and the number of pages passed to the <code class="literal">sqlite3_backup_step</code> method, 
                are estimates of the number of pages to be copied and not exact values.
                To be certain that the backup process is complete,
                check if the <code class="literal">sqlite3_backup_step</code> method has returned <code class="literal">SQLITE_DONE</code>.
                To learn how to use SQLite Online Backup API, see the official <a class="ulink" href="http://www.sqlite.org/backup.html" target="_top">SQLite
                Documentation Page.</a>

	        When BDB SQL interface databases are replicated .dump and the SQLite Online
		Backup API are not sufficient to create a backup.  In a separate 
		process you should use the <a href="../api_reference/C/db_hotbackup.html" class="olink">db_hotbackup</a> utility or other methods
		described in the 
		<a href="../gsg_txn/C/backuprestore.html" class="olink">Oracle Berkeley DB Backup Procedures</a>
                section.  You must then copy
		some additional files for the backup to be complete.
	    </p>
          <p>
	    	The additional files can be found in the journal directory of
		the source database, and should be copied into the journal
		directory of the backup copy. The journal directory is
		automatically created when a Berkeley DB SQL interface database is created.
		The journal directory is created in the same directory as the
		database file, it has the name of the database file with a
		<code class="literal">-journal</code> appendix.
	    </p>
          <p>
	    	The files that need to be copied into the backup journal directory are:
