There's no special bulk loader, but you can write one in term of
basic.publish that loads messages one at a time.

If you want to reset the broker to a previous state then you can restore
a copy of the database directory while the broker is shut down. Only
persistent messages will survive this operation and you will lose any
state that existed on the broker prior to the restore with this method.
