Pull Couchbase database over ssh from remote server

Question

I am working on a Debian environment and I have to pull a Couchbase database from a remote server location into my local Dev environment.

I wasn't able to find any kind of details on this topic so any kind of assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Answer 1

The usual trick is using scp. The usual is:

scp user@remotemachine:/path/to/remote/file.db /path/to/local/dir/

You may be able to use a password, or SSH (scp runs under ssh) may be configured to require a Keyfile to log in. Try the copy, see if your password can work.

There is a simple tutorial here.

Answer 2

There are two tools depending on the version of Couchbase you use:

cbbackupmgr:

• Full backup

  Create repo:

  cbbackupmgr config -a "backups_directory" -r "backup_name"

  Create backup:

  cbbackupmgr backup -a "backups_directory" -r "backup_name" -c couchbase://"ip_date_node" -u "user" -p "password"

• Restore (the bucket must be empty):

  cbbackupmgr restore -a "backups_directory" -r "backup_name" -c couchbase://"ip_date_node" -u "user" -p "pass"

cbbackup and cbrestore:

• Backup:

  cbbackup couchbase://"ip_date_node":8091 "backup_name" -u "user" -p "pass"

• Restore (the bucket must be empty):

  cbrestore ~/backup couchbase://ip_date_node:8091 -b "backup_name"
