This reminds me of something I did back in 2008, we were using Postgres, not SQLite, and we needed to get a backup from one production machine onto several other machines. Copying saturated the network for an hour - And we needed to copy four times if I remember right. We didn't want to wait four hours.

I found this tool laying around "udpcast" and used it to send the backup over the network just once to all the destinations at the same time.
