If you are a Linux or MacOSX user, you can use the couchdb-dump tool , which mainly works with the bash shell.

It deletes the database in a local file (ASCII text file) formatted as requested by http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Bulk_Document_API

You can then restore it using the bulk upload of the document or using the couchdb-dump recovery tool.

Backing up files has the advantage that it is very fast, but the disadvantage of working with local files that cannot be used when changing the OS.
