Vincent,

You could use the Java Command Line Client for this task. It accepts an argument “-b” to specify the collection to export:

http://www.exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/backup#command-line-utility

For example, the following command will backup the /db/data/export1 collection, including its subcollections, to /tmp/backup (assuming that the eXist-db directory belongs to system user existdb):

sudo -u existdb /opt/eXist-db/bin/backup.sh -b '/db/data/export1' -d /tmp/backup/ -u <user> -p <pw>

Greetings,
Florian

Betreff: [Exist-open] Export collection

Hi all,

Is there a ready-made way to export a specific collection from eXist-db to disk? In this case, the collection contains several levels of nested collections, XQuery and XML documents. I looked through the documentation but could only find instructions about how to back up an entire database, not a specific collection. It should be easy enough to create an XQuery to export a collection to disk, but it seems worth asking first if such a thing already exists.

Thanks,
Vincent
