Description

We'd like to export and import data, if only for backup purposes. This should run in a transaction for isolation, and shouldn't buffer in memory. The format is not yet defined; figuring it out is part of this bug.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Design an API to export/import the transaction log to disk with transactional isolation, without buffering in memory. Decide on a serialization format for the log entries.
