Thank you for that suggestion. It works and creates a nice copy of all data
in a similar table.

However, it does not copy the index. Maybe there is an equally elegant way
to ensure that the index is copied as well? Or maybe I don't need it if I do
the restore by the following SQL statements:

TRUNCATE TABLE table_to_backup
INSERT INTO table_to_backup SELECT * FROM backuptable

Any suggestions as to whether this will work?
