Pretty easy.
Open up the rake console from the gear menu, and run:
db:data:dump # Dump contents of database to db/data.yml
db:data:load # Load contents of db/data.yml into database

after a db:data:dump, you'll find a data.yml file in your /db/ directory.
Download a copy of it, and hack away.

To restore, simply place data.yml into the /db/ directory, pop open
the rake console, and run
db:data:load.

For more handy rake tasks, try "--tasks" from the rake console.

Good luck!
