Nyway to restore a dump.rdb redis backup file remotely

redis

i have written some Golang code to backup a bunch of Redis clusters
the only way i have found to restore these backups is to copy the dump.rdb file in a certain directory and restart the Redis instance
the instances are docker containers and volumes are set for persistence
is there any way to restore a dump.rdb file remotely
any tools that can help?

If loading the rdb upon container startup is not an option for you, it is possible to transform the rdb file into redis protocol and import the raw protocol.

Make sure you have redis-rdb-tools available.
scp source-redis:/data/dump.rdb ./dump.rdb
rdb -c protocol dump.rdb > ./dump.protocol
scp ./dump.protocol target-redis:/data/dump.protocol
ssh target-redis -C 'redis-cli --pipe < /data/dump.protocol'

Linux – Some Linux systems become very slow when Redis is loading a big dataset

The output from 'top' might yield some clues. There's a field near the top left labeled '% stolen' which reflects the amount of hardware CPU diverted to other guests on the same physical box. I've seen these kinds of slow downs when the hypervisor decides to allocate more CPU to another guest, especially when I'm performing some long-running CPU-intensive task.

Not sure if that's your problem or not but it's worth checking.

Linux – How to load the dump.rdb file into redis

Edit your config file to set the dir option to the current working directory:

# The filename where to dump the DB
dbfilename dump.rdb

# The working directory.
#
# The DB will be written inside this directory, with the filename specified
# above using the 'dbfilename' configuration directive.
# 
# Also the Append Only File will be created inside this directory.
# 
# Note that you must specify a directory here, not a file name.
dir /current/working/directory
