[MarkLogic Dev General] Backup/restore security databasefrom Windows to RedHat

[Michael Blakeley]

XQSync will copy document permissions (unless COPY_PERMISSIONS=false of course).

Create the necessary roles on the destination system first. Then you can run the XQSync import process. If XQSync tries to copy permissions for a role that does not exist, it will throw an error.

The two databases won't have the same ids for their users and roles, but your code shouldn't depend on that anyway.
