Is there a Pythonic way to do a quick backup or a copy of a collection (document and edge)?

The regular way seems to be using arangodump/arangoimp in the console. Also there are some tutorials on how to do a full backup on a different server in JS.

I'm just trying a simple case: Directly copy a collection on the existing server.

Would it be OK to use an http API? – Kaveh Vahedipour Jan 14 '20 at 15:36
Technically the pyarango is also using the http API. So if it's somewhat implemented in pyarango, yes it's ok. – Qohelet Jan 15 '20 at 09:28
In that case, please check this API https://www.arangodb.com/docs/3.5/http/export.html – Kaveh Vahedipour Jan 15 '20 at 13:02
So is it implemented in pyarango or not? That was my requirement – Qohelet Jan 15 '20 at 13:59

I would also urge the use of the ["bulk"](https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/http/document-working-with-documents.html#bulk-document-operations) interfaces for import and export. They GREATLY improve speed, without the need to call an external program. – kerry Jan 25 '20 at 00:47
