DumpSync Command: Transfer

To transfer a database from one server to another, you can use the following command:

dumpsync transfer -f /path/to/dump.sql

Command Breakdown

• dumpsync: This is the main command to invoke the DumpSync tool.
• transfer: This subcommand initiates the transfer process to restore the database from the specified dump file.

Options

• -f /path/to/dump.sql: Specifies the path to the dump file that you want to restore. Replace /path/to/dump.sql with the actual file path to your SQL dump file.

Example

To transfer a database from a dump file located at /backups/example_dump.sql, you would run:

dumpsync transfer -f /backups/example_dump.sql

Notes

• Ensure that the dump file exists and that you have the necessary permissions to read it.
• The transfer process will overwrite existing data in the database, so be cautious when using this command, especially if restoring to a production environment.
• It’s recommended to back up current data before performing an import to avoid accidental data loss.
