Thank you for resuming S3QL.

Is it true that .db sqlite database file is not uploaded anymore?
Could you suggest a way to back it up?

It has never been uploaded until now. In the past, a dump of the
database (but not the database file itself) was uploaded into a single
backend object. In S3QL 5+, the database file itself will be uploaded,
but split into multiple blocks stored in multiple backend objects.

S3QL 5+ maintains a number of backups on the backend. In addition to
that, you can just copy the .db file from the cache directory to
whereever you consider safe.

Best,
