rt-dump-database(8) dump the Request Tracker database

SYNOPSIS

rt-dump-database [ 0 ]

DESCRIPTION

rt-dump-database is a tool that dumps part of the Request Tracker database into XML format, suitable for feeding into rt-setup-database.

When run without arguments, the database dump will only include 'local' configuration changes, ie. those done manually in the web interface.

When run with the argument '0', the dump will include all configuration metadata.

In most cases, instead of using this tool to migrate an RT database you should use the native database dump/load tools, and then if upgrading between versions, running the appropriate upgrade scripts via rt-setup-database. See NOTES.Debian for more information about upgrading RT in Debian.
