Backup and Restore Redis Data on Ubuntu | Guide

Did you know that backing up and restoring Redis data on Ubuntu involves creating snapshots of our Redis database?

After that, we have to use these snapshots to restore the data when needed. Our experts have put together this guide on how to carry out backup and restore operations for Redis data on Ubuntu.

How to Backup Redis Data on Ubuntu

1. First, we have to create a directory to store our Redis backups.
2. Then, we have to connect to our Redis server via the Redis CLI as seen here:

   redis-cli
3. Next, we must run the SAVE command to create a snapshot of the database. This command blocks the Redis server while the snapshot is being created. This is why we have to do this during low-activity periods.
4. At this point, the snapshot file will be created in the Redis server’s working directory with a filename like dump.rdb.
5. Now, we have to move the Snapshot File to the Backup Directory we created in the first step.
6. At this point, we have to verify that the snapshot file is present in the backup directory:

   ls ~/redis_backups

How to Restore Redis Data on Ubuntu

1. First, we have to stop the Redis server to prevent conflicts during the restoration process.
2. Now, we must replace our existing Redis data with the backup data. This is done by copying the backup snapshot to the Redis working directory.
3. Then, start the Redis server again.
4. At this point, we have to connect to the Redis server via the Redis CLI and verify that the data has been restored.
