The basic recipe for testing the import/export utility and import/export verification tool follows:

Start up an empty Fedora
Load or /fcr:restore a dataset
Export the all or some of the dataset with the import/export utility
Verify the export with the verification tool
Start up a new Fedora (same or different port and context)
Import the exported resources with the import/export utility
Verify the import with the verification tool

Variations

The above recipe can be varied in the following ways:

For #2: In addition to custom, scripted ingest datasets, the "additional_datasets" are available for /fcr:restore
For #3: All of the configuration options should be tested
1. With and without binaries (-b)
2. Using default and aptrust bagit profiles
3. Using inbound references (-i)
4. Using membership predicates (-p)
5. Overwriting tombstones (-t)
6. With authorization (-u)
7. Exporting external content (-x)
For #5: Start up the destination Fedora on a different port and with a different context, example
For #6: Use both the command line options and the auto-generated config file

When exporting with binary excluded, those three records with non-existing resource reference won't be exported.
