Is there a way to get a file similar to what .dump outputs in a binary format? The hex encoding of binary blobs doubles the output size for my use case. I'd like to backup a large (~60GB) database with minimal downtime. .backup makes a copy of the database with an acceptable locking period, but each copy has many incidental pointer-level differences depending on the precise page layouts, reducing the effectiveness of deduplicating backup tools that match longer runs of content. The dump format is much better for deduplication, apart from the unnecessary extra size from formatting and parsing overhead required to import. A binary dump format would be ideal, perhaps reusing the record format already present.
