Efficient Data Migration for InfluxDB 1.8 with Memory Constraints

Dears,

I am using InfluxDB version 1.8 on a server and would like to migrate to another server with the same version. However, the current server is experiencing memory issues, so I’d like to know the best way to migrate the data without overloading the original server. Would a simple rsync be effective, or is there a more efficient approach?

Regards

Hello @Alexander_Var,
I’m fairly sure you can use this guide to migrate from 1.x to another instance of 1.x

I’m not sure about server overload. @scott do you know? Thank you!

@Alexander_Var rsync could potentially work, but I’m not 100% sure. You’d have to copy all of the on-disk files that InfluxDB expects. What operating system are you using?
