# Datadog Backup
[](https://badge.fury.io/rb/datadog_backup)
Use `datadog_backup` to backup your datadog account.
Currently supports
- dashboards
- monitors
Additional features may be built out over time.
# v3 Migration
## Breaking Changes
v3 is a backwards incompatible change.
- [ ] DATADOG_API_KEY and DATADOG_APP_KEY are no longer the environment variables used to authenticate to Datadog. Instead, set the environment variables DD_API_KEY and DD_APP_KEY.
- [ ] ruby 2.7 is no longer supported. Please upgrade to ruby 3.0 or higher.
- [ ] The options `--ssh` and `--ssshh` are no longer supported. Instead, please use `--quiet` to supress logging. `--debug` remains supported.
- [ ] The environment variable `DATADOG_HOST` is no longer supported. Instead, please use `DD_SITE_URL`.
## Misc
- [ ] The legacy [dogapi-rb ](https://github.com/DataDog/dogapi-rb) gem is replaced with [faraday](https://lostisland.github.io/faraday/). The [official client library](https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-api-client-ruby) was considered, but was not adopted as I had a hard time grok-ing it.
## Installation
```
gem install datadog_backup
```
## Usage
```
DD_API_KEY=example123 DD_APP_KEY=example123 datadog_backup [--backup-dir /path/to/backups] [--debug] [--monitors-only] [--dashboards-only] [--diff-format color|html|html_simple] [--no-color] [--json]
```
```
gem install datadog_backup
export DD_API_KEY=abc123
export DD_APP_KEY=abc123
# Perform backup to `./backup/` using YAML encoding
