Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SENTRY-197:
-------------------------------------------
Good question and interesting idea [~tctruong213]. SENTRY-199 has created
utility to convert privileges from the policy files into database provider. If
the "dump" portion would dump data into correct policy file then you would be
completely correct. I was originally thinking about having some special
intermediate data format specific to Sentry, but you're right - this format can
possibly be an valid policy file.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0

> We are storing entire content of the Sentry service in a database. It would
> be useful to have a sentry tool that would be able to dump entire content in
> sentry specific format (that will be independent on the used database
> backend) and it's counterpart that would be able to read this format and load
> the data into another instance of the Sentry Service.
> Such tool can be very helpful for:
> * Backups
> * Migration from one backend store to another
> * Debugging content of the underlying database
