How do I duplicate an entire firebase

Question

What is the best way to clone or duplicate an entire firebase installation to a temporary one?

I would like to duplicate my production firebase to a temporary firebase in order to test some new code and transform the data ahead of our next product upgrade.

Answer 1

1. Log in to your Firebase dashboard
2. Go to the Forge that you want to back up
3. Click the "Export JSON" button at the top right
4. Go to another Forge, where you want to create a backup
5. Click the "Import JSON" at the top right

You may also want to look at this question to automate the export/import process using the REST API.
