1.Unload an exporter mir into a temporary flat file: # mcc_ndbm -u /var/mcc/mcc_00.mcc_exp_inst020_pms /tmp/mcc_00.mcc_exp_inst020_pms.ndbm_save 2.Load an exporter mir from a temporary flat file: # mcc_ndbm -l  /tmp/mcc_00.mcc_exp_inst020_pms.ndbm_save /var/mcc/mcc_00.mcc_exp_inst020_pms

NOTES

ndbm files handling by using unix commands such as cp, cat, tar... may be unsafe. To carry a ndbm mir, use  mcc_ndbm command to first, unload the mir into a file that can be normally handled and then build the new mir by loading from this file.  Anyway, since these mirs are belonging to groups of related file, it is better to handle the whole group by using temip_backup command.
