mc admin cluster bucket import

The mc admin cluster bucket import command imports bucket metadata as created by the mc admin cluster bucket export command.

You can use this command to manually restore the metadata to the specified bucket on a MinIO AIStor deployment.

The import does not restore all bucket settings:

It does not import bucket replication configuration. Configure replication again after the import.
It imports only the default retention settings for object locking. Object locking must have been enabled when the bucket was created.
Lifecycle rules that transition objects need the remote tier to exist on the target deployment.

If you specify only the deployment as the target, this command applies the metadata objects to all matching buckets on the target.

Syntax

The following command imports bucket metadata for the myaistor deployment from a file:

mc admin cluster bucket import myaistor /path/to/myaistor-bucket-metadata.zip

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin cluster bucket import  \
                                    ALIAS[/BUCKET] \
                                    METADATA.ZIP

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.
