-# LOCALDUMP :: COUCHDB2 - using nodejs tools couchbackup and couchrestore
-# https://github.com/cloudant/couchbackup
-#
-# Backup:
-# - creates gzipped plain text backups (JSON) from each scheme
-# - write sequence id into a text file
-# - store extra file with security infos
-# - latest backup set is written to archive
-#

-# 2019-11-13  .....  v1.0  initial version with backup and restore (single DB)
-# 2020-05-19  .....  v1.1  backup a single or multiple couchdb instances by globbing param
-#                          ./localdump.sh backup couchdb2 demo
-# 2021-10-11  .....  v1.2  added fastmode in restore: no test connect, do not 
-#                          delete DB before create request
-# 2022-01-20         v1.3  fixes with shellcheck
-# 2022-03-17         v1.4  WIP: add lines with prefix __DB__
-# 2022-04-07         v1.5  check archive file, not only seq file
-# 2022-04-14         v1.6  backup security infos (no restore yet)
-# 2022-04-21         v1.7  restore security infos
-# 2022-10-07  ah     v1.8  unescape regex with space to prevent "grep: warning: stray \ before white space"
-# 2023-06-06  ah     v1.9  show a warning if the sequence id was not fetched
-# 2023-06-12  ah     v1.10 skip couchdb dump if no sequence id was detected (=db deleted since fetching list of all dbs)
