Export data

Export

As an Administrator you can export data from Dgraph Cloud, using the Cloud console, a GraphQL Client, or the Cloud API. You can also export data from your self-hosted Dgraph instance to NFS or a file path or to an object store.

When you export data, typically three files are generated:

  • g01.gql_schema.gz: The GraphQL schema file. This file can be imported using the Schema APIs
  • g01.json.gz or g01.rdf.gz: the data from your instance in JSON format or RDF format. By default, Dgraph exports data in RDF format.
  • g01.schema.gz: This file is the internal Dgraph schema. If you have set up the Dgraph Cloud instance with a GraphQL schema, then you can ignore this file.
