SQLite3::backup copies the contents of one database
into another, overwriting the contents of the destination database.
It is useful either for creating backups of databases
or for copying in-memory databases to or from persistent files.
As of SQLite 3.27.0 (2019-02-07), it is also possible to use the statement
VACUUM INTO 'file.db'; to backup the database to a new file.
&reftitle.parameters;
destination

in an ATTACH statement for an attached database.
