MDB_COPY(1)		     General Commands Manual		     MDB_COPY(1)

NAME
     mdb_copy - LMDB environment copy tool

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

DESCRIPTION
     The  mdb_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.

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.
