SYNOPSIS

confluentdbutil [options] [dump|restore] <var>path</var>

DESCRIPTION

In order to perform restore, the confluent service must not be running. It is required to indicate how to treat the usernames/passwords are treated in the json files (password protected, removed from the files, or unprotected).

OPTIONS

  • -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD: If specified, information such as usernames and passwords will be encrypted using the given password.

  • -i, --interactivepassword: Prompt for password.

  • -r, --redact: Indicates to replace usernames and passwords with a dummy string rather than included.

  • -u, --unprotected: The keys.json file will include the encryption keys without any protection.

  • -s, --skipkeys: This specifies to dump the encrypted data without dumping the keys needed to decrypt it. This is suitable for an automated incremental backup, where an earlier password protected dump has a protected keys.json file, and only the protected data is needed. keys do not change and as such they do not require incremental backup.

  • -y, `--yaml Use YAML instead of JSON as file format

  • -h, --help: Show help message and exit
