Execute backup

topaz-backup boltdb \
--db-file ~/.local/share/topaz/db/gdrive-v33.db \
--backup-dir ~/.local/share/topaz/backup

/Users/gertd/.local/share/topaz/backup/gdrive-v33-20250731T162842.db

NOTES:

• When using the boltdb plugin, the topaz-backup command MUST be executed on the same machine as were the topazd process is running. As the topazd process holds the exclusive read-write connection to the boltdb database file, the backup process uses a read-only connection, to copy the content to a new backup file, and flushed the file state to disk when finished.
