mdb_copy - LMDB environment copy tool
Contents
Caveats
This utility can trigger significant file size growth if run in parallel with write transactions, because
pages which they free during copying cannot be reused until the copy is done.
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 created, since it gets recreated at need.
If dstpath is specified it must be the path of an empty directory for storing the backup. Otherwise, the
backup will be written to stdout.
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.
Name
mdb_copy - LMDB environment copy tool
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.
