Could you please add a test case to confirm that the regression is fixed by this?

You can rename test_bad_target_none to test_bad_target and add the new test here:

cpython/Lib/sqlite3/test/backup.py

Lines 20 to 22 in 749d40a

	def test_bad_target_none(self):
	with self.assertRaises(TypeError):
	self.cx.backup(None)
