I've mentioned it before, but here is another ad: I have made a basic
import/export facility that can dump and restore elephant databases to
a file in sexp format. I use it to migrate data and to do backups. It
feels safe that the data is in a human readable file.
Currrent main restriction is that data should fit in main memory, but
I will fix that sometime.

It is hidden under the grand-prix project on common-lisp-net:
