I believe the only way to achieve this today is by using pg_dump to back up the Airbyte database. You then load the backup into your new instance and update the configuration to point to the new database.

Okay thanks, do you think i will have compatibility problem with the import of the old database ?
Are you trying to migrate from PG13 to PG15?
You can export the dump and try to import without stopping your instance
Okay, i will try to do it, but i have a last question. on new airbyte version, there is no database container like the old one with docker compose, because now i can only see one abctl container, i followed the “Configuring the Airbyte Database” but there is still nothing on the new instance, do i need to do something else ? Thanks you
If you’re using abctl you must access the “kubernetes cluster” and see the pods running in the namespace.
Okay i see it, thanks for you help Marcos
