I have a large fts5 virtual table (currently about 90GB).
Because the sqlite ODBC driver, which I use (version 3.43.2) as my main sqlite scripting client, doesn't support fts5, I populate and use fts5 either via sqlitespy (1.9.16) or via sqlite-utils (3.38). This setup is OK, if not ideal, for day-to-day purposes.
However neither sqlitespy nor sqlite-utils gives me any realistic backup options. I would normally clone a database and/or dump the tables, but I can find no way of doing either of these, and am reduced to doing a file copy. I can't find any references anywhere on the web to fts5 backups, so I don't even know if .dump would work against a fts5 virtual table.
Does anyone have a fts5 backup solution, and/or can anyone suggest a Windows 11 64 bit client that supports fts5, .clone, and (if relevant) .dump that I can use instead of the ODBC driver? (I can't find one of those on the web either.) I am not realistically in a position to compile my own sqlite client with fts5 enabled.
