The --full option and the --schema-only option can be used together if you want to copy a database in phases, for example, during scheduled - periods of downtime or low activity. Run gptransfer --full --schema-only -d - <database_name> ... to create the full database on the destination - cluster, but with no data. Then you can transfer the tables in stages during scheduled down + periods of downtime or low activity. Run gptransfer --full --schema-only ... + to create the full database schema on the destination + cluster, but with no data. You can then transfer the tables in stages during scheduled down times or periods of low activity. Be sure to include the --truncate or --drop option when you later transfer tables to prevent the transfer from failing because the table already exists at the destination.
