      --instance=VALUE       Name of the instance to use
      --config=VALUE         Configuration file to use
      --directory=VALUE      The target directory for the exported data file-
                               s. This directory will be created if it does not
                               already exist. Use the --clean argument to purge
                               an existing directory before exporting the data
                               files.
      --clean                [Optional] Remove all contents of target
                               directory before exporting the data files. This
                               cannot be undone.
      --password=VALUE       Password used to encrypt any sensitive values.
                               This is the password you will use when importing
                               the data into another Octopus Server.
      --include-tasklogs     [Optional] Use this argument to include the task
                               log folder as part of the data export. Default
                               is to ignore task logs.
      --inline-scripts=VALUE [Optional] Use this argument to choose how
                               inline scripts in your deployment processes will
                               be exported. Valid options for --inline-scripts
                               are CopyToFiles, ExtractToFiles, LeaveInline.
                               Default is CopyToFiles.
      --projectGroup=VALUE   The name of a project group you want to export
                               including all its projects. Specify this
                               argument multiple times to add multiple project
                               groups.
      --project=VALUE        The name of a project you want to export.
                               Specify this argument multiple times to add
                               multiple projects.
      --releaseVersion=VALUE [Optional] An expression for the releases you
                               want to export. This can be a specific version
                               like --releaseVersion=2.5.0, or a version range
                               like --releaseVersion=2.5.0-3.1.0, or --
                               releaseVersion=* to export all releases. Where
                               possible semantic version comparison is used,
                               and any matching releases will be exported.
                               Leaving this argument empty is the equivalent to
                               all releases.
      --ignore-history       [Optional] Excludes all historical documents
                               like releases, deployments, deployment related
                               tasks, and auto-deploy history. Use this switch
                               if you want to export the current state of a
                               project without its history.
      --ignore-deployments   [Optional] Excludes deployments, deployment
                               related tasks, and auto-deploy history. Releases
                               are still exported. Use --ignore-history to
                               exclude all historical documents.
      --ignore-tenants       [Optional] Excludes tenants from partial export.
      --ignore-certificates  [Optional] Excludes certificates from partial
                               export.
      --ignore-machines      [Optional] Excludes deployment targets and
                               workers from partial export.

Or one of the common options:

      --help                 Show detailed help for this command

Basic examples

This will export the project files from AcmeWebStore and then spider back through the relevant linked documents in the database and back up only those that are required in some way to reproduce that project in its entirety.

Octopus.Migrator.exe partial-export --instance=MyOctopusInstanceName --project=AcmeWebStore --password=5uper5ecret --directory=C:\Temp\AcmeWebStore
