I have a server running Citadel which uses Berkeley DB on the back end 
and I am trying to transfer the VM that is running it to a different 
server and when I just copy the virtual hard drive and load it the 
database is corrupt and cannot be fixed. When I try anything else like 
db_hotbackup I get an input/output error when it tries to backup the 
logs. The host system is running Fedora 16 and the VM is running Centos 
6.3 Using qemu and KVM for the virtualization. I really have 2 questions.

1. How long should it take to dump a database? Mine is about 7.4 GB with 
about 200 MB of log files right now.

2. What is the best way to transfer the database to a different system? 
I would prefer a method that does not involve downtime as this is a 
production email system.
