Suppose the specified location already has data files. In that case, taosdump will prompt the user and exit immediately to avoid data overwriting which means that the same path can only be used for one backup.
Please be careful if you see a prompt for this.
taosdump is a logical backup tool and should not be used to back up any raw data, environment settings,
Users should not use taosdump to back up raw data, environment settings, hardware information, server configuration, or cluster topology. taosdump uses [Apache AVRO](https://avro.apache.org/) as the data file format to store backup data.
## Installation
There are two ways to install taosdump:
- Install the taosTools official installer. Please find taosTools from [All download links](https://www.taosdata.com/all-downloads) page and download and install it.
- Install the taosTools official installer. Please find taosTools from [All download links](https://www.tdengine.com/all-downloads) page and download and install it.
- Compile taos-tools separately and install it. Please refer to the [taos-tools](https://github.com/taosdata/taos-tools) repository for details.

### taosdump backup data
1. backing up all databases: specify `-A` or `-all-databases` parameter.
2. backup multiple specified databases: use `-D db1,db2,... ` parameters; 3.
2. backup multiple specified databases: use `-D db1,db2,... ` parameters;
3. back up some super or normal tables in the specified database: use `-dbname stbname1 stbname2 tbname1 tbname2 ... ` parameters. Note that the first parameter of this input sequence is the database name, and only one database is supported. The second and subsequent parameters are the names of super or normal tables in that database, separated by spaces.
4. back up the system log database: TDengine clusters usually contain a system database named `log`. The data in this database is the data that TDengine runs itself, and the taosdump will not back up the log database by default. If users need to back up the log database, users can use the `-a` or `-allow-sys` command-line parameter.
5. Loose mode backup: taosdump version 1.4.1 onwards provides `-n` and `-L` parameters for backing up data without using escape characters and "loose" mode, which can reduce the number of backups if table names, column names, tag names do not use This can reduce the backup data time and backup data footprint if table names, column names, and tag names do not use `escape character`. If you are unsure about using `-n` and `-L` conditions, please use the default parameters for "strict" mode backup. See the [official documentation](/taos-sql/escape) for a description of escaped characters.
:::tip
- taosdump versions after 1.4.1 provide the `-I` argument for parsing Avro file schema and data. If users specify `-s` then only taosdump will parse schema.
- Backups after taosdump 1.4.2 use the batch count specified by the `-B` parameter. The default value is 16384. If, in some environments, low network speed or disk performance causes "Error actual dump ... batch ..." can be tried by challenging the `-B` parameter to a smaller value.

Restore the data file in the specified path: use the `-i` parameter plus the path to the data file. You should not use the same directory to backup different data sets, and you should not backup the same data set multiple times in the same path. Otherwise, the backup data will cause overwriting or multiple backups.
:::tip
taosdump internally uses TDengine stmt binding API for writing recovery data and currently uses 16384 as one write batch for better data recovery performance. If there are more columns in the backup data, it may cause a "WAL size exceeds limit" error. You can try to adjust to a smaller value by using the `-B` parameter.
