Hi,
I am running Node-red and InfluxDB on Docker desktop, where Node-red is used to retrive data from a OPC-UA server and sending the data to InfluxDB.
In order to export or create backup of the InfluxDB, i need to log into the influxdb container (i have been using powershell).
Are there any nodes that can be used in Node-red to achive this?

Try searching the node red flows site for
influxdb backup

Thanks for your suggestion Colin!
I have tried to get the backup node working, but i get an the error code: "bin/bash: influxdb: command not found". This error code is the same error i got when i tried to use the "exec" node to log into influxdb.
I can see that the node has been tested on influxdb v1.8, but i could not find out if works on influxdb v2 which is what i am using.
Do you have any other ideas ?

I believe that it does not work with influxdb v2. It would need someone who knows about v2 to amend the node.
