title: using rake to dump and load database
body: <p>How can I specify a directory for dumping/loading my db to yaml?</p>
  
  <pre><code>rake db:data:dump_dir
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>created</p>
  
  <pre><code>db/2011-08-31_14:10:57_+0100/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <pre><code>rake db:data:load_dir
  
  No such file or directory - &lt;RAILS_ROOT&gt;/db/base
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is whether you can specify a directory name to dump to/load from and how?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
