Downgrade v.2.7.10 to v.2.1 due to csv export

Hello,
I seem to have found a solution in the forum:
influxd downgrade 2.1 --bolt-path influxd.old.bolt --sqlite-path influxd.sqlite

Uploading the jpg file didn’t work here.

As a result, everything looked OK at first. No errors, but at the end there was some information:
Metadata successfully downgraded, you can now safely replace this ‘influxd’ with the target older version {“log_id”: “0s0OR5G1000”, “version”: “2.1”}

There is a new file in the directory "influxd.sqlite.v2.7.10-pre-2.1-downgrade.backup

What do I need to do now, because when I start influxdb, v.2.7.10 is still displayed?

Today the upload worked

If no one here knows, then maybe someone knows how to export via the command line. I tried it, but I can’t figure out the syntax.

Hello @DGR75, n
thanks for sharing your solution above!
But what exactly is the problem now? i’m not quite sure I understand thanks

yes the csv export is a problem and has been for a long time. I have a large database of measurements but no way to get it out easily. They removed the button. Is there a very easy way to downgrade on a machine that doesnt have internet access? I dont care what version of influx it is, but I need the csv button desperately. I am not a coder, but need my data. please help.

As I wrote: influx the version v2.7.10 is still displayed and there is no button for csv export. I was hoping to get version 2.1 again. Maybe a step is still missing (renaming files?)
I can now export the data via the command line but it creates a txt file rather than a csv file. You can convert this to a csv file, but the format is not the same as using the button.

I would love to know why they removed this button and the ability to export. I am no expert on CLI formatting and would love to keep this easy for my users. The button was perfect and did everything I needed. I will be downgrading. Hopefully that is a relatively simple process.
