This capability is not built-in to the Xata platform but we provide a python script that can do that: https://github.com/xataio/xtools/tree/main/xreplay
It can be used to copy Xata databases across accounts, workspaces, regions and branches, or store schema and table content to files on disk in JSON or CSV format.
It can create a clone of your main (or any other branch) under a new branch in the same database.
Note it doesn't copy file attachments.
Thank you @kostas !
Hi @kostas. Is it possible to copy from one database into another database (different region) onto a new branch? When trying with
xreplay I get an error that the database already exists.
Hi @kostas. Just checking if you saw my previous message? Thanks. 🙏
