In digiKam, no.

To backup a database,this one must be locked (aka all digiKam instance
stop to run), and a dump can be processed. Mariadb and Mysql provide a
tool for that.

For sqlite, when digiKam is down, just copy the database in
versionning repository (git for ex). I'm sure that you can found
delegate script for this task that you can cron.

drag and drop is fine...
