Projects Backup

Hello.

I am working on setting up a test machine and I would like to transfer the projects and dataset from one instance to another.

I only want to recover the bare minimum to have the installation as clean as possible.

How can I do it?

I've more than one hundred projects so I don't want to use the export features project by project.

 

Best regards,

Hi @Erylis ,

Migrating this many projects would best be done by migrating the data directory to your new instance. 

To achieve a cleaner migration you can exclude the following from your sync/backup: 

https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/operations/backups.html#what-can-be-excluded-from-the-backup

You will also need to follow these steps:

 https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/8.0/installation/migrations.html#migrating-the-data-directory 

While exporting/importing individual projects can be done via CLI and API.  In your case, this may be more complex.
