Looking for a reliable Backup/Restore solution.  Is Cluster Replication (
http://hbase.apache.org/replication.html)  the only recommended way?  We
don't have extra infrastructure needed at this client for replication.  Just
creating a demo/prototype application for them.

Is there a utility that will allow us to simply backup all tables into CSV
files and later restore from these CSVs?

Please let me know.  Thanks.

Here's an overview of what you can do

Sweet.

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.Export
& org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.Import are working well.  Meets our
needs for now.

On a side note, Mozilla's link is broken:
https://github.com/xstevens/akela/blob/master/src/java/com/mozilla/hadoop/Backup.java

Anyway, thanks for the quick reply.
