How To Back Up A Database To A File?

By admin Posted in: Database Software

I’m very new to using databases and at my job, I’m asked to back up a CouchDB using a Mac Terminal. I want to back up all the files on the database to a single file that can be restored later. What commands would I use?

    zip Couch120126.zip pathtofiles
    This will use zip to archive the files in the folder pointed to by “pathtofiles”.
    Obviously, the name “Couch120126″ can be anything you want, but that sort of hints at what it is and the date.
