How About GCP Auto Backup Method ?

[@nandithavm7619]

This is the best method ever. There is no better method. Thank you so much.

[@iqwebserve3973]

Thank you for this tip! I plan to be a paid user one day and use buckets, but for now I want to start with Free Tier as I learn.

[@OctAcademy]

The free tier is more than enough for a small App with small audiance, you can go for the paid version once your app grows big ... :)

[@YorukaValorant]

Wow, Keep it up! You are doing a good job. High Quality Videos

i exported and imported json file but can i upload it on server and run there?

[@DanKardell]

This package still does not allow for the import of a specific collection, only the entire db?

[@OctAcademy]

with this package you can only import the entire DB :)

[@DanKardell]

@@OctAcademy Thanks.. I hope they change it so like they do with the realtime that you can just update a collection and not the entire DB.

[@OctAcademy]

@@DanKardell Thank you very much for the information :)

[@angelamolina5599]

is there a way to export only a specific collection?

[@OctAcademy]

there is no option for this, you can export the readable (pretty) JSON version and Edit the Exported JSON file according to your Requirements

[@andrewdavis6747]

Great video. Extremely helpful. Question - do you have to clear the database to import a new JSON file? Say I wanted to add to my database. Another set of data. Can I do that while leaving the existing data alone?

[@OctAcademy]

Yes you can add a new set of data, by keeping your current data, but before you doing this first take a backup of current firestore data, if anything goes wrong you dont need to worry right.. :)

[@Iamkabera]

@@OctAcademy That's great but say, you have blog posts you want to add on the app. You can't overwrite already indexed posts since you'll basically change the permalinks to the posts.

[@akashchauhan6784]

Great Explanation Sir ☺️

[@OctAcademy]

Hope you learn something :)

[@AakashGoplani]

I have data in my local firebase emulator and now I want to export that to cloud firestore. Will this approach be useful for such use case?

[@OctAcademy]

Yes, definitely

[@gonzalescarloz]

running npm install -g node-firestore-import-export gives me a "44 packages are looking for funding" error

[@OctAcademy]

if this is not working try to use this package with npx

[@matthewma1008]

Liked, thank you so much

[@OctAcademy]

Thank you :)

[@wesleybarnes5376]

Great, does the package have a option to save as csv maybe?

[@OctAcademy]

As i know this package don't have an option for CSV

[@amedeeahoton5829]

Thanks for this ressource.

[@OctAcademy]

Your welcome :)

[@DanKardell]

Can you use this import to append the DB or is it always an overwrite?

[@OctAcademy]

Its always overwrites the DB

[@DanKardell]

@@OctAcademy So unlike realtime DB you can't just add new records with this method and not affect the rest of the DB

[@junreydotarot7180]

Hi! Can this be done in the firebase emulator? Like, export data from emulator then import to live firestore or vice versa?

[@OctAcademy]

To my knowledge, you can do this with emulator if you activated the billing, otherwise you cannot do this with the forestore console

[@joelmuriuki6076]

'firestore-export' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Please advise on how to fix this error

Hi Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and it works like a charm :D I would just like to ask if using this method will incur charges to my firestore billing since t reads data and writes to my local file?

can i export data from firestore and use(import) it in realtime database

[@OctAcademy]

Realtime database is different than firestone, so as per my knowledge you cannot import firestore export to Realtime database :)
