To backup the Koha database to a file:

1. mysqldump --opt Koha > backup.sql
2. optionally compress backup.sql to save disk space


To restore the Koha database from a backup:

1. figure out how to delete the existing database
2. mysql -e 'create database Koha'
3. mysql Koha < backup.sql


You better know what your doing with the latter, since you will
be destroying whatever was in the database before the restore.
