Import and export data

How to import, export, flush, and migrate your data.

Redis Software

This documentation applies to Redis Software versions 7.4.x, which reach end of life on November 30, 2026. See the product lifecycle for supported versions.

Import data into a database

You can import export or backup files of a specific Redis Enterprise Software database to restore data. You can either import from a single file or from multiple files, such as when you want to import from a backup of a clustered database.

Export data from a database

You can export data to import it into a new database or to make a backup. This article shows how to do so.

Flush database data

To delete the data in a database without deleting the database, you can use Redis CLI to flush it from the database. You can also use Redis CLI, the admin console, and the Redis Software REST API to flush data from Active-Active databases.

Schedule periodic backups

Schedule backups of your databases to make sure you always have valid backups.

Migrate a database to Active-Active

Use Replica Of to migrate your database to an Active-Active database.

Replica Of geo-distributed Redis

Replica Of provides read-only access to replicas of the dataset from different geographical locations.
