well, that is why i never in my life will dump and import
large databases - never, for no money on the world

backups of whole servers are done with replication and
restored with rsync if needed but why in the world would
someone export large datasets with dependencies to a PLAIN
TEXTFILE and pray this is becoming a consistent database
on any target?

bseides the fact it takes years to import huge data from
dumps - how do you make sure they are 100% clean after that
