Derby Backup

[Francisco Trindade <fr...@m3tech.com.br>]

Hi,

Im building a system using Apache Derby, and I couldnt find a way to 
backup the existing data from the database.
The only procedure I've found in the documentation is to create a 
online/offline backup, that copies the existent database to a different 
location.
The problem with this approach is that the backup file becomes very 
large (15 - 30 MB) in my case, and that's because Im zipping the 
database after copying it.

I was wondering if it doesn't exist a way to create a backup only of the 
existent data, and not the whole database, like a dump.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
Francisco Trindade

Bryan,

thanks for your reply.
The import/export tools could be useful, but they have the inconvenient 
of exporting/importing only one table (as far as I have understood them).
Isnt there a way to just put the whole database into a file with a 
single command?

Thanks in advance.

Would the Import/Export tools be useful, perhaps?
