ArangoDB since version 1.4 comes with two additional tools to support dumping data from an ArangoDB database and reloading them.
arangodump is a tool to create logical backups of one or many collections of an ArangoDB database:
@CHAPTER_REF{DumpManual}
arangorestore is a tool to reload data dumped with arangodump into an ArangoDB database. Data can be loaded into the same or a different database:
@CHAPTER_REF{RestoreManual}
Both arangodump and arangorestore are client tools that need to connect to a running ArangoDB server instance. arangodump will write all its output into a directory that needs to be specified when invoking it. arangorestore will read files from a directory that was formerly created by invoking arangodump.
