DLMDB_COPY(1)		     General Commands Manual		   DLMDB_COPY(1)

NAME
     dlmdb_copy - DLMDB environment copy tool

SYNOPSIS
     mdb_copy [-V] [-c] [-n] [-v] srcpath [dstpath]

DESCRIPTION
     The  dlmdb_copy  utility copies an LMDB environment. The environment can be
     copied regardless of whether it is currently in use.  No lockfile	is  cre-
     ated, since it gets recreated at need.

     If dstpath is specified it must be the path of an empty directory for stor-
     ing the backup. Otherwise, the backup will be written to stdout.

OPTIONS
     -V     Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.

     -c     Compact while copying. Only current data pages will be copied; freed
	    or unused pages will be omitted from the copy. This option will slow
	    down  the  backup process as it is more CPU-intensive.  Currently it
	    fails if the environment has suffered a page leak.

     -n     Open LDMB environment(s) which do not use subdirectories.

     -v     Use the previous environment state	instead  of  the  latest  state.
	    This may be useful if the latest state has been corrupted.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Exit  status  is zero if no errors occur.	Errors result in a non-zero exit
     status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.

CAVEATS
     This utility can trigger significant file size growth if  run  in	parallel
     with  write transactions, because pages which they free during copying can-
     not be reused until the copy is done.
