Hi Lucas,

The ckanapi command line tool[1] lets you bulk import and export
datasets, groups and organizations. It also generates logs, can resume
when interrupted and can use multiple workers in parallel.

It uses JSON Lines as the export format so that it's not tied to a
particular schema. JSON Lines can't be edited as easily as CSV, but
I'm planning/working on a solution to that[2]
