Supported options for **dump** include
- ``--gzip``
- Compress the output in a format compatible with **gzip(1)**.
-
- ``--format=(sup|batch-tag)``
- Notmuch restore supports two plain text dump formats, both with one
- message-id per line, followed by a list of tags.
-
- **batch-tag**
-
- The default **batch-tag** dump format is intended to more
- robust against malformed message-ids and tags containing
- whitespace or non-\ **ascii(7)** characters. Each line has
- the form
-
- +<*encoded-tag*\ > +<*encoded-tag*\ > ... --
- id:<*quoted-message-id*\ >
-
- Tags are hex-encoded by replacing every byte not matching
- the regex **[A-Za-z0-9@=.,\_+-]** with **%nn** where nn is
- the two digit hex encoding. The message ID is a valid
- Xapian query, quoted using Xapian boolean term quoting
- rules: if the ID contains whitespace or a close paren or
- starts with a double quote, it must be enclosed in double
- quotes and double quotes inside the ID must be
- doubled. The astute reader will notice this is a special
- case of the batch input format for **notmuch-tag(1)**;
- note that the single message-id query is mandatory for
- **notmuch-restore(1)**.
-
- **sup**
-
- The **sup** dump file format is specifically chosen to be
- compatible with the format of files produced by
- sup-dump. So if you've previously been using sup for mail,
- then the **notmuch restore** command provides you a way to
- import all of your tags (or labels as sup calls
- them). Each line has the following form
-
- <*message-id*\ > **(** <*tag*\ > ... **)**
-
- with zero or more tags are separated by spaces. Note that
- (malformed) message-ids may contain arbitrary non-null
- characters. Note also that tags with spaces will not be
- correctly restored with this format.
-
- ``--include=(config|properties|tags)``

Control what kind of metadata is included in the output.

+ **config**
Output configuration data stored in the database. Each line
starts with "#@ ", followed by a space separated key-value
pair. Both key and value are hex encoded if needed.
- **properties**
-
+ **properties**
Output per-message (key,value) metadata. Each line starts
with "#= ", followed by a message id, and a space separated
list of key=value pairs. Ids, keys and values are hex encoded
if needed. See **notmuch-properties(7)** for more details.
- **tags**
-
+ **tags**
Output per-message boolean metadata, namely tags. See *format* above
for description of the output.
