Backup database supports the following properties

Property	Description
source	Required. Path to the database where the .db is located
target	Required. Path of the backup file for the database.
overwrite	Optional. Defaults to false. Overwrite the target file if it exists. If this isn't specified, and the file already exists, the build will fail
online	Optional. Indicates the database must be online or not when doing a backup. If not set, proutil -C holder will be used to detect database is up. Leave this out if you want the task to auto detect if this option should be used.
