if you don't trust something to survive an atomic filesystem snapshot, why would you trust it to survive sudden power loss?


That's what I'm saying, if you have a CoW filesystem, backing up with atomic snapshots is almost certainly fine, SQLite's advice against copying probably doesn't apply to that. But just typing `cp` in a terminal is probably not a good idea if a transaction is active (even if you're on a CoW filesystem, `cp` in experience usually isn't atomic without some flags).
