Description

Description

SQLite3 class provides support for the SQLite3 backup API: https://www.php.net/manual/en/sqlite3.backup.php

 SQLite3::backup(SQLite3 $destination, string $sourceDatabase = "main", string $destinationDatabase = "main"): bool

It would be nice to have the same in PDO\SQLite:

PDO\SQLite::backup(PDO\SQLite $destination, string $sourceDatabase = "main", string $destinationDatabase = "main"): bool
