Metabase Migrate

[Kolotayo]

Dear All,

I have most of my Metabase dashboard on my Local Instance on my Local Machine but i want be able to replicate the same on my LIVE instance.

Is there a way i can just Backup and Restore to a different Location?

You can backup and restore the entire database. There's no way to migrate portions yet.
More discussion here:

Copy dashboards and questions from one server to another

I’m a BI consultant and normally work on a local server before deploying ‘stuff’ to a customer’s live server. Is it possible to take parts of a metabase install from one server to another? I’d like to be able to migrate/overwrite data definitions, questions and dashboards without overwriting a customer’s users and other data.

Thank You for your response @AndrewMBaines

@AndrewMBaines is there a way i can start Metabase without using the code below everytime?

java -jar metabase.jar

In Windows:

Run Metabase as a windows service!

I have created a windows service that attempts to start metabase. But the attempt times out. Has anyone got this installed as a windows service and started it successfully?

I'm still learning the Linux side.
