Backup influxdb 1.2.2 databases and restore it to influxdb 1.7.2

Store
1

Hi,

I am running influxdb 1.2.2.

> ./influx
> Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 1.2.2
> InfluxDB shell version: 1.2.2
> > show databases;
> name: databases
> name
> ----
> _internal
> application
> system
> events

I did ./influxd backup -database events /opt/data but it backups only metastore. How do i backup all databases and restore it to 1.7.2. Am i doing it correctly?

Please suggest.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

You should be able to backup everything with the influxd backup command:

influxd backup -portable <path-to-backup> should backup everything.

This looks like the issue reported here.

Can you upgrade the 1.2.2 to a newer version?
