How to backup and Restore - Azure Mapping Data Flow

Hi All,

 

I have some Mapping Data Flows created which i want to backup and restore to another Azure Data Factory. I do not want to export the whole ARM Template, just specific Data Flows. Is there a way I can accomplish that other than redoing all the work.

 

Any help would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

    If you use the ADF git repo connection, then in your repository you'll have a DataFactory/dataflow directory. In there is a *.json file for each of your data flows. So in my mind, you could just copy paste this across projects.

     

    If you don't use the git repo connection, and rather do everything in ADF published environment then no I don't know how to do this.

      JohnathonR Thanks Johnathon, I was looking into the documentation and found another way. If you have any associated pipeline with the Mapping Data Flow, you can save the flow as template on the pipeline and export that file from the dialog box. That will save the pipeline, dataflow and all the associated datasets in a single zip file which you can later use with "Import from Template" option to move around.
