When I first read the subject I thought, "Why, unless it's for local use only?"
Backup --> sks dump
Restore/Creation --> sks build, followed by sks clean and sks pbuild.
'man sks' and 'sks help' should be enough guidance for 'sks dump'
If it is not too large of a database, you might find it easier to just tar up
the two DB directories after a bit of cleanup:
cd /var/sks
for DB in KDB PTree
do
db_recover -h $DB
db_checkpoint -1h $DB
db_archive -dh $DB
done
tar cf sks-dbs.tar KDB PTree
My inner-sysadmin would do both for backup and prefer the tar ball for restore.
One other question as a SKS developer, other than for disaster recovery, why
do you think you need to backup/restore? It's not needed for upgrades of SKS
or Berkeley DB, so... why do it?
[Note: Please read the UPGRADING file in the source[0] (it should also be in
any distro pkg) BEFORE upgrading SKS and/or BDB. At the very least, you'll
save yourself some unneeded work.]
