node-redis-dump2

Node.js redis dump library
==========

Backup and restore your Redis data written on node.js

This is a fork of the original "node-redis-dump" library from Dmitriy Yurchenko (https://github.com/EvilDevRu/node-redis-dump.git)
to get bugfixes and security updates applied.

Installation

``
$ npm install node-redis-dump2
`

Quick Start


The param object given to RedisDump is passed to "ioredis" library to create a new client from.
After object initialization an explicit call to connect() must be done.

See examples/ directory for this too.

Parameter for export

Parameter for import

Examples

`js
const RedisDump = require('./node-redis-dump');
let dump = new RedisDump({
host: 'localhost',
port: 6379,
password: ''
});

dump.connect();
dump.export({
type: 'redis',
callback: function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log('Could\'t not make redis dump!', err);
return;
}

console.log('--------- REDIS DUMP ----------');
console.log(data);
console.log('--------- /REDIS DUMP ----------');
}
});
`

Optional an already existing redis client can be given to the constructor to reuse it.

`js
const RedisDump = require('./node-redis-dump');
const Redis = require('ioredis');

let redis = new Redis({
host: 'localhost',
port: 6379,
password: ''
});
let dump = new RedisDump({client: redis});

dump.export({
type: 'redis',
//isCompress: false, (not working now)
callback: function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log('Could\'t not make redis dump!', err);
return;
}

console.log('--------- REDIS DUMP ----------');
console.log(data);
console.log('--------- /REDIS DUMP ----------');
}
});

Known Issues

* does not work with Redis streams (neither export nor import)
* "redis" type does not work with binary data (neither import into redis nor export from redis)
