Thanks for asking! Using SQLite with SQLx in Rust provides type-safe SQL queries, which enhances safety by catching errors at compile time.

As for backups, the setup is straightforward: just periodically copy the SQLite file to a secure location. Since it's a single binary and a database file, this keeps things simple and low-maintenance.

I hope you're calling the `backup` command in sqlite. A simple copy can leave sqlite db files in an inconsistent state from which sqlite can't recover.
Thanks for the hint. I didn't know that. So far nothing happened, but I will start using the backup command.
