Import/Export Cache Data

Note

This feature is only available in NCache Enterprise Edition.

NCache allows to backup cache data for later use. In order to create the backup use Export-CacheData PowerShell tool. Once data is exported, you can get all the items present in the existing backup of the cache along with the Lucene documents using Import-CacheData PowerShell tool. It is important to note that, you can only restore data for a distributed cache using Import and Export cache data tools together. This is also helpful when you are updating NCache version and want to restore the cached data for later use.

Important

Cache name must be same while using Export-CacheData and Import-CacheData tools.
