Confirm the issue also with version 1.7.0 (also using SQLite)

Got the same issue. In your app.ini if you change PATH = data/gitea.db by PATH = YOUR_FULL_PATH/data/gitea.db, it'll works.

[jryan128]

Replacing relative path with absolute path in db.PATH does fix the issue for me.

As @jryan128 mentioned, absolute path works fine.
Also if you do a pushd/cd to the gitea workdir and run the backup command (without changing the db.PATH to absolute path in app.ini), the backup goes through fine.
