FAQ

Doesn't RethinkDB already have dump and restore commands for handling this?

Thinker's clone command can dump and restore in one step (even to remote databases). clone can also target a different database on the same server.

The sync command is different entirely, sync runs a hashing function on the tables in both databases and only modifies the data that is different, saving tons of bandwidth and time. For example, I regularly update a local copy of a production database for development. The database is 20GB in size, I can sync the changes over a ~25mb link in about 20 minutes.

  thinker clone -h | --help

Options:

  --th, --targetHost=<host[:port]>    Target host, defaults to 'localhost:21015'
  --sd, --sourceDB=<dbName>           Source database
  --td, --targetDB=<dbName>           Target database

  --pt, --pickTables=<table1,table2>  Comma separated list of tables to copy (whitelist)
  --ot, --omitTables=<table1,table2>  Comma separated list of tables to ignore (blacklist)
                                      Note: '--pt' and '--ot' are mutually exclusive options.
