To migrate data from an InfluxDB OSS bucket to another InfluxDB OSS or InfluxDB
Cloud bucket, export your data as line protocol and write it to your other
InfluxDB bucket.
> [!Important]
>
> #### InfluxDB Cloud write limits
> If migrating data from InfluxDB OSS to InfluxDB Cloud, you are subject to your
> [InfluxDB Cloud organization's rate limits and adjustable quotas](/influxdb/cloud/account-management/limits/).
> Consider exporting your data in time-based batches to limit the file size
> of exported line protocol to match your InfluxDB Cloud organization's limits.
1. [Find the InfluxDB OSS bucket ID](/influxdb/v2/organizations/buckets/view-buckets/)
that contains data you want to migrate.
2. Use the `influxd inspect export-lp` command to export data in your bucket as
[line protocol](/influxdb/v2/reference/syntax/line-protocol/).
Provide the following:
- **bucket ID**: ({{< req >}}) ID of the bucket to migrate.
- **engine path**: ({{< req >}}) Path to the TSM storage files on disk.
The default engine path [depends on your operating system](/influxdb/v2/reference/internals/file-system-layout/#file-system-layout),
If using a [custom engine-path](/influxdb/v2/reference/config-options/#engine-path)
provide your custom path.
- **output path**: ({{< req >}}) File path to output line protocol to.
- **start time**: Earliest time to export.
- **end time**: Latest time to export.
- **measurement**: Export a specific measurement. By default, the command
exports all measurements.
- **compression**: ({{< req text="Recommended" color="magenta" >}})
Use Gzip compression to compress the output line protocol file.
```sh
influxd inspect export-lp \
--bucket-id 12ab34cd56ef \
--engine-path ~/.influxdbv2/engine \
--output-path path/to/export.lp
--start 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z \
--end 2022-01-31T23:59:59Z \
--compress
```
3. Write the exported line protocol to your InfluxDB OSS or InfluxDB Cloud instance.
Do any of the following:
- Write line protocol in the **InfluxDB UI**:
- [InfluxDB Cloud UI](/influxdb/cloud/write-data/no-code/load-data/#load-csv-or-line-protocol-in-ui)
- [InfluxDB OSS {{< current-version >}} UI](/influxdb/v2/write-data/no-code/load-data/#load-csv-or-line-protocol-in-ui)
- [Write line protocol using the `influx write` command](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/write/)
- [Write line protocol using the InfluxDB API](/influxdb/v2/write-data/developer-tools/api/)
- [Bulk ingest data (InfluxDB Cloud)](/influxdb/cloud/write-data/bulk-ingest-cloud/)
