SQLite提供了以下3個APIs函數(shù)用于完成此操作，這里僅僅給出它們的基本用法，至于使用細(xì)節(jié)可以參考SQLite官方網(wǎng)站"APIs Reference"(http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/backup_finish.html)。
1). 函數(shù)sqlite3_backup_init()用于創(chuàng)建sqlite3_backup對象，該對象將作為本次拷貝操作的句柄傳給其余兩個函數(shù)。
2). 函數(shù)sqlite3_backup_step()用于數(shù)據(jù)拷貝，如果該函數(shù)的第二個參數(shù)為-1，那么整個拷貝過程都將在該函數(shù)的一次調(diào)用中完成。
3). 函數(shù)sqlite3_backup_finish()用于釋放sqlite3_backup_init()函數(shù)申請的資源，以避免資源泄露。
在整個拷貝過程中如果出現(xiàn)任何錯誤，我們都可以通過調(diào)用目的數(shù)據(jù)庫連接的sqlite3_errcode()函數(shù)來獲取具體的錯誤碼。此外，如果sqlite3_backup_step()調(diào)用失敗，由于sqlite3_backup_finish()函數(shù)并不會修改當(dāng)前連接的錯誤碼，因此我們可以在調(diào)用sqlite3_backup_finish()之后再獲取錯誤碼，從而在代碼中減少了一次錯誤處理。見如下代碼示例(來自SQLite官網(wǎng))：
/*
** This function is used to load the contents of a database file on disk
** into the "main" database of open database connection pInMemory, or
** to save the current contents of the database opened by pInMemory into
** a database file on disk. pInMemory is probably an in-memory database,
** but this function will also work fine if it is not.
**
** Parameter zFilename points to a nul-terminated string containing the
** name of the database file on disk to load from or save to. If parameter
** isSave is non-zero, then the contents of the file zFilename are
** overwritten with the contents of the database opened by pInMemory. If
** parameter isSave is zero, then the contents of the database opened by
** pInMemory are replaced by data loaded from the file zFilename.
**
** If the operation is successful, SQLITE_OK is returned. Otherwise, if
** an error occurs, an SQLite error code is returned.

**
** While this function is running, another thread may use the database pDb, or
