Restoring Redis data from an RDB file

Next, take the following steps to restore Redis data from the RDB file created in the backing up section:

1. Check if AOF is enabled in Redis:

$ bin/redis-cli CONFIG GET appendonly1) "appendonly"2) "yes"

2. If AOF is not enabled, skip this step and progress to step 3. Otherwise, disable AOF first:

$ bin/redis-cli CONFIG SET appendonly noOK$ bin/redis-cli CONFIG REWRITEOK

3. Shut down Redis Server and delete or rename both AOF and RDB files in the data directory:

$ bin/redis-cli SHUTDOWN$ rm *.aof *.rdb

4. Now, copy the snapshot RDB file to be restored into the Redis data directory and rename it dump.rdb: (make sure it matches dbfilename in configuration):

$ cp /mnt/backup/redis/dump.201712250100.rdb /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb ...
