About:
SqliteRsync is a specialized utility designed for efficiently replicating SQLite databases across a network. It leverages the rsync algorithm to transfer only the modified portions of a database file, significantly reducing bandwidth usage and transfer time. This tool is ideal for maintaining synchronized database replicas for backup or high-availability purposes.
Key Features:
  • Delta transfer protocol minimizes network traffic
  • Supports both incremental and full database synchronization
  • Preserves database integrity during remote transfers
  • Command-line interface for easy automation and scripting
Use Cases:
  • Creating off-site backups of active SQLite databases
  • Maintaining read-replicas for load balancing application queries
  • Synchronizing development and testing database states
Alternatives:
  • rclone – General purpose cloud sync tool, less optimized for SQLite block-level changes
  • sqlite3 CLI – Requires manual dump/restore process, not suitable for live synchronization
