John,

Add export tags pages when you want to sync your database with the .txt
files stored in the products directory.  I use it in one of my catalogs
to ensure that my transactions and orderline tables are in sync.  I
simply inserted:

[export transactions]
[export orderline]

into etc/log_transaction so when orders are placed and routed my tables
get "backed-up" so to speak.  By default, the tag will generate a
standard <table_name>.txt file in the products directory.  See the tags
reference manual for further details.
