iOS：如何创建核心数据库的备份副本？以及如何导出/导入该副本？

看看这个示例应用程序,它包括进行备份,从iCloud复制备份,通过电子邮件发送备份和从电子邮件导入备份的功能.

顺便说一句,如果您要在ICloud之间进行备份,那么使用migratePersistentStore API来制作/导入备份会更安全.另请注意,示例应用程序假定您没有使用WAL模式,这是iOS 7的默认模式.WAL模式使用多个文件,这些文件都需要备份或复制.

以下是展示示例应用备份和还原功能的视频的链接.

以下是用于创建备份副本的方法.请注意,可以使用多个persistentStoreCoordinator打开存储,因此在进行备份时无需关闭它.恢复它显然需要先删除现有的商店.请注意,除了使用或不使用iCloud选项打开源存储之外,以下两种方法之间几乎没有区别.
