Backup of Library variable set

Hi Team,

I am looking for the API key which can take the backup of my library variable set and restore it back in the octopus server.

Thanks
Shubham

Hi Shubham,

Thanks for getting in touch! This is a great question. I’ve done a bit of digging in our sample API script repository and found the following which I think might work well for your needs.

github.com

OctopusDeploy/OctopusDeploy-Api/blob/master/Octopus.Client/LINQPad/ImportExportUpdateVariables.linq

<Query Kind="Statements">
  <NuGetReference>Newtonsoft.Json</NuGetReference>
  <NuGetReference>Octopus.Client</NuGetReference>
  <Namespace>Octopus.Client</Namespace>
  <Namespace>Octopus.Client.Model</Namespace>
  <Namespace>Octopus.Client.Model.Endpoints</Namespace>
  <Namespace>Octopus.Client.Serialization</Namespace>
  <Namespace>System.Net</Namespace>
  <Namespace>System.Net.Http</Namespace>
  <Namespace>Newtonsoft.Json</Namespace>
</Query>

// This script shows how to retrieve, export, import, manipulate and update a project's variables

var endpoint = new OctopusServerEndpoint("http://localhost", "API-AOLL7T3QASOZEJROIAYAGBWA6M");
var repository = new OctopusRepository(endpoint);


var project = repository.Projects.FindByName("Test");
var set = repository.VariableSets.Get(project.VariableSetId);

You’d need to input your Octopus URL and API key (which you can generate in the web portal under the My API Keys tab of your user profile). It might need some tweaking to match your specific needs, but I hope that helps you get started!

Let me know how you go, or if you have any further questions going forward.

Best regards,

Kenny
