RabbitMQ will recover durable queues/exchanges and persistent messages in those queues
on start. It will also perform database upgrades when you install a newer version.

To create a backup RabbitMQ database you need to stop the node and copy Mnesia directory,
the archive it how you see appropriate. To restore, replace Mnesia directory dir with a one
from backup.

You can try it locally by overriding RABBITMQ_MNESIA_DIR, see http://www.rabbitmq.com/relocate.html.
