NAME
       rrddump - dump the contents of an RRD to XML format

SYNOPSIS
       rrdtool dump filename.rrd > filename.xml

DESCRIPTION
       The dump function prints the contents of an RRD in human
       readable (?) XML format. This format can be read by
       rrdrestore.  Together they allow you to transfer your
       files from one architecture to another as well as manipu-
       lating the contents of an RRD file in a somewhat more con-
       venient manner.

       filename.rrd
           The name of the RRD you want to dump.

EXAMPLES
       To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow these
       steps:

       1.  On the same system where the RRD was created, use rrd-
           tool dump to export the data to XML format.

       2.  Transfer the XML dump to the target system

       3.  Run rrdtool restore to create a new RRD from the XML
           dump.  See rrdrestore for details.
