I have a problem. I am using ArangoDB Enterprise - 3.8.6 via Docker. I downloaded a Backup from another ArangoDB. How can I upload these files/backup to my local ArangoDB that runs on Docker, so that my ArangoDB have the files.

The picture below shows what my backup looks like

I already read the documentation but I do not find any helpful information https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/programs-arangorestore-examples.html and Strategy for arangodb data backup in docker container

Inside Docker Desktop I started CLI and wrote down arangorestore

What you downloaded is not a backup unfortunately, but the file system directory. Please perform arangodump on your first instance, which you can then easily restore via arangorestore.

I take it that you would like a full backup and restore, something like this:

arangodump --server.endpoint <source> --server.username <username> --server.password <password> --all-databases true

followed by

arangorestore --server.endpoint <target> --server.username <username> --server.password <password> --all-databases true

No need to get inside the docker container, so to speak.
