How to backup the database.db?

[nebula-it]

I thought filebrowser uses a SQLite DB, but when trying to execute sqlite3 /home/filebrowser/data/database.db ".backup /home/filebrowser/data/database.db.bkup" it fails with error: Error: file is not a database

Is there a preferred way to backup the db? or a cli argument to trigger backup?

Copy the file :)

its just one file, doesn't need a backup function like some databases.

the program does use an sqlite database for indexing, but the main database file is still bolt key/value database. v2.0.0 will have the upgrade to sqlite.

That's what I've been doing :) But just wanted to make sure, since copying sqlite file as is doesnt always result in a consistent state.
