bqup is a backup tool for BigQuery projects. It can export a BigQuery project's structure and source code while mimicking the hierarchy of datasets and tables.
For the full story of why we made bqup, check out our blog post!
bqup can be installed using pip
.
$ pip install bqup
Alternatively, you can also clone the repository then run install
.
$ git clone https://github.com/thinkingmachines/bqup.git
$ cd bqup
$ python3 setup.py install
You can list down the options by running bqup --help
.
bqup [-p PROJECT_ID] [-d TARGET_DIR] [-fvx]
Options:
-p PROJECT_ID, --project PROJECT_ID Project ID to load. If unspecified,

will be written. Defaults to current
timestamp.
