Restore Backup into local ArangoDB

I have a problem. I am using ArangoDB Enterprise - 3.8.6 via Docker. I downloaded a Backup from another ArangoDB. How can I upload these files/backup to my local ArangoDB that runs on Docker, so that my ArangoDB have the files.

The picture below shows what my backup looks like

I already read the documentation but I do not find any helpful information https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/programs-arangorestore-examples.html and Strategy for arangodb data backup in docker container

Inside Docker Desktop I started CLI and wrote down arangorestore

Solution

  • What you downloaded is not a backup unfortunately, but the file system directory. Please perform arangodump on your first instance, which you can then easily restore via arangorestore.

    I take it that you would like a full backup and restore, something like this:

    arangodump --server.endpoint <source> --server.username <username> --server.password <password> --all-databases true

    followed by

    arangorestore --server.endpoint <target> --server.username <username> --server.password <password> --all-databases true

    No need to get inside the docker container, so to speak.
