13 The B<dump> function prints the contents of an B<RRD> in human
14 readable (?) XML format. This format can be read by rrdrestore.

16 to another as well as manipulating the contents of an B<RRD> file in a
17 somewhat more convenient manner.

31 To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow these steps:
37 On the same system where the RRD was created, use B<rrdtool> B<dump>
38 to export the data to XML format.
42 Transfer the XML dump to the target system
46 Run B<rrdtool> B<restore> to create a new RRD from the XML dump. See
