movedb Command--Copy Data Locations to Another Machine
The movedb utility copies Vector data locations from one machine to another. Movedb lets you create a backup copy of the database for disaster recovery purposes.
Note:  The locations must be the same on both machines.
This command has the following format:
movedb -source source_name -dest destination name -dbname dbname
        [-key keyfile] [‑nockp] [-trial]
-source source_name
Specifies the name of the source machine.
-dest destination_name
Specifies the name of the destination machine.
-dbname dbname
Specifies the name of the database.
-key keyfile
Specifies the fully-qualified SSH key file. Specifying an authentication key is recommended; otherwise password authentication will be required multiple times instead of once. An authentication key can be generated by using the Linux utility ssh-keygen.
‑nockp
Do not copy ckp, jnl, and dmp directories.
-trial
Performs a trial run copy (no files copied).
