# Data Migration `mysqldump` command can be used to export data. Suppose you are using a docker container, run the following ```bash # Backup docker exec CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysqldump -u root --password=root DATABASE > backup.sql # Restore cat backup.sql | docker exec -i CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysql -u root --password=root DATABASE # Another way to restore, without docker mysql -u [user] -p [database_name] < [filename].sql ``` ## Reference - https://gist.github.com/spalladino/6d981f7b33f6e0afe6bb
