Backup / restore all databases? about couchdb-dump HOT 4 CLOSED

Not really, you'd likely want to backup specific ones individually, else you'd be looking to restore them all at once also (which you might not want).

I'd suggest listing all DBs:

GET /_all_dbs

and then parsing that into a for i in type loop.

I actually am looking for that, I'm looking for a way to make snapshots of the whole database. Most solutions don't support attachments.

IIRC; this script does support backing up a database including attachments. But backing up a database (with or without attachments) is a different request to backing up all databases :) The attachments are not stored in a separate database.

Simply backup each database to it's own file, one-by-one, and then restore in the same manner.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try your _all_dbs tip.
