influx restore

  • influx CLI 2.0.0+
  • InfluxDB 2.0.0+
  • Updated in CLI v2.0.7

When restoring data from a backup file set, InfluxDB temporarily moves existing data and metadata while restore runs. After restore completes, the temporary data is deleted. If the restore process fails, InfluxDB preserves the data in the temporary location.

Cannot restore to existing buckets

The influx restore command cannot restore data to existing buckets. Use the --new-bucket flag to create a bucket with a new name and restore data into it. To restore data and retain bucket names, delete existing buckets and then begin the restore process.
