Creating a dynamic table backup

CLI

Web interface

MapReduce

Allow read access and prohibit data write:
```
yt freeze-table //path/to/table
```

Copy a table:

yt copy //path/to/table //path/to/table_copy

Allow data write access:
```
yt unfreeze-table //path/to/table
```

To allow read access and prohibit data write, select Freeze in the table context menu.
To copy a table, select Copy in the context menu and specify the name of the new table.
To allow data write, select Unfreeze.

If you need to give data read and write access when copying a table, dump the contents of the dynamic table into the static table and back again. To do this, use the script described in the MapReduce for dynamic tables section.
