RRDDUMP(1)			    rrdtool			    RRDDUMP(1)

NAME
       rrddump - dump the contents of an RRD to	XML format

SYNOPSIS
       rrdtool dump filename.rrd > filename.xml

       or

       rrdtool dump filename.rrd filename.xml

DESCRIPTION
       The  dump  function writes the contents of an RRD in human readable (?)
       XML format to a	file  or  to  stdout.  This  format  can  be  read  by
       rrdrestore.  Together  they  allow  you to transfer your	files from one
       computer	architecture to	another	as well	to manipulate the contents  of
       an RRD file in a	somewhat more convenient manner.

       filename.rrd
	       The name	of the RRD you want to dump.

       filename.xml
	       The  (optional)	filename that you want to write	the XML	output
	       to.  If not specified, the XML will be printed to stdout.

EXAMPLES
       To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow	these steps:

       1.  On the same system where the	RRD was	created, use rrdtool  dump  to
	   export the data to XML format.

       2.  Transfer the	XML dump to the	target system.

       3.  Run	rrdtool	 restore  to  create  a	new RRD	from the XML dump. See
	   rrdrestore for details.
