If you want to do a backup, just follow Berkeley DB instructions.
Look at our hot-backup.py script in tools/. It's a Berkeley DB
feature.

I suppose you *could* use the dump format for backup, but it's not
particularly efficient. Also, when you re-import, who knows what you
may get. While the resurrected repository might have same information
of before, it might have totally different node-ids and other internal
organzations.
