 +The script extract data from the NAV database to text file(s). This is useful if you are migrating from one NAV installation to another and want to seed the new installation with the equipment you were monitoring in the old installation.

 +Dumps NAV database to importable files.

 +The tables you typically want export from are the tables that give data for bulk import when seeding the database. This will include:
 +
 +  * netbox
 +  * room
 +  * location
 +  * org
 +  * usage
 +  * type
 +  * vendor
 +  * subcat
 +  * prefix
 +  * service
 +
 +We currently do not support cabling and patch.
 +
 +:!: Run ''/​dump.py -a''​ and you get all tables supported.
