# Description

knife-ec-backup can backup and restore the data in an Enterprise Chef
Server installation, preserving the data in an intermediate, editable
text format.  It is similar to the `knife download` and `knife upload`
commands and uses the same underlying libraries, but also includes
workarounds for objects not yet supported by those tools and various
Server API deficiencies.  The long-run goal is to improve `knife
download`, `knife upload` and the Chef Server API and deprecate this
tool.

# Requirements

This knife plugin requires Chef Client 11.8+.<commit_msg>Update README.md as per Chef OSS practices<commit_after># Knife EC Backup
