💖 incus-storage-bucket-export — the group chat guide 💖

okay bestie, so this page is from the Incus - Command line client manual (section 1, the big girl section where all the command-line tools live) and it's literally just one job: Export storage bucket. That's it. That's the whole personality. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

incus-storage-bucket-export — export a storage bucket 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

incus storage bucket export [:]  [] [flags]

yeah it's giving "mysterious bracketed energy" but that's the real shape of it, no cap. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the actual description, verbatim vibe:

Export storage buckets as tarball.

That's right, it's a tarball. It's tar. It's a little bundle of bucket. Obsessed honestly. 🫶

💜 OPTIONS 💜

These are the options this command itself owns:

  • --compression="" — pick the compression algorithm, bestie. The values it knows about are for backup or none. Default is empty (""), so, like, no algorithm chosen unless you choose one. ✨
  • -f, --force[=false] — force it to overwrite a backup file that already exists. Default is false, so by default it will NOT just bulldoze your existing file. 💀
  • --target="" — the cluster member name. Default is "". Use it when you're being specific about which cluster member you're talking to. 👑

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

These aren't this command's own — they float down from the parent, like hand-me-downs but make them iconic:

  • --debug[=false] — show ALL the debug messages. Every single one. Default false. 🔥
  • --explain[=false] — not me being a nerd but: if the command is valid, it explains its parsed arguments instead of actually running it. Default false. Perfect for "what did I just type" moments. 🙈
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. Default false. 🧚
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. Default false. The classic. The icon. ⭐
  • --project="" — override the source project. Default is "". 🍓
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. Default false. For when you want peace and no progress bar yapping at you. 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use this together with help or --help to view sub-commands. Default false. 🎀
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. Default false. The opposite energy of --quiet. 🌸
  • --version[=false] — print the version number. Default false. 💜

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

incus storage bucket export default b1
    Download a backup tarball of the b1 storage bucket from the default pool.

so here we're pulling a backup tarball of the b1 storage bucket out of the default pool. Slay. That's it, that's the whole trick. 💅✨

ngl the important bits are: --compression, -f/--force, and --target. The rest is inherited from the parent command, so don't @ them at this page, they're just visiting. 🫶
