In addition to the other methods suggested already, you could just:

	$ kadmin -l dump <file>

which can be later loaded with:

	$ kadmin -l load <file>

Or one could even grep the entries out that you wish to restore and pass
them to:

	$ kadmin -l merge <file>

if, say, you wanted to revert some entries to the dump file that you
created using the cronjob that we all generally have in place.
