**`dav export [-pc] [-o <file>] [-u <date>] <url>`**

Downloads a resource or a collection with all child resources, and writes the contents to an archive file. The Output is written to stdout, unless the **`-o`** option is used.

Currently the only available archive format is the ustar format.

These archive files can be uploaded to an collection with the [dav import][1] command.

**`-p`** disable file name and content decryption. You get exactly what is stored
  on the server.
  
**`-c`** enable file name and content decryption

**`-o <file>`** specify the local output file. A **-** indicates stdout

**`-u <date>`** download only files which are modified since the specified date. Uses the HTTP date format

[1]: ./import.html

### Example: create tar file from collection

	$ dav export -o collection.tar myserv/col/
