Restoring redis data using redis-cli --rdb

[Astro]

Hi,

I am trying to restore dump.rdb file into redis using redis-cli --rdb option. But ebery time it creates new dump.rdb (18b) file.

From redis documentation I found '--rdb <filename>   Transfer an RDB dump from remote server to local file' .

How can I restore the existing dump.rdb into redis using redis-cli?

Thanks,

Astro

--rdb only saves a RDB locally (server -> local file), it doesn't
restore it.

The easiest way is to transfer the RDB file to the server, place it in
the right path (as configured for your redis-server) and restart the
instance.
Redis will pick up the file and load it.

Another option would be to use the redis-rdb-tools[1] to convert the RDB
to a protocol stream and pipe that to 'redis-cli --pipe' to import it.

Hi janerik,


We are using Elasticache and have only endpoint to access the redis-server.

I just wanted to restore a dump on redis server. Copying rdb file into dbpath seems not feasible in this case.

Moreover Elasticache does not allow to store existing rdb to cluster.


Thanks
