You can use argocd admin to import and export all Argo CD data.

Make sure you have ~/.kube/config pointing to your Argo CD cluster.

Figure out what version of Argo CD you're running:

bash
argocd version | grep server
# ...
export VERSION=v1.0.1

Export to a backup:

bash
docker run -v ~/.kube:/home/argocd/.kube --rm quay.io/argoproj/argocd:$VERSION argocd admin export > backup.yaml

Import from a backup:

bash
docker run -i -v ~/.kube:/home/argocd/.kube --rm quay.io/argoproj/argocd:$VERSION argocd admin import - < backup.yaml

[!NOTE] If you are running Argo CD on a namespace different than default remember to pass the namespace parameter (-n <namespace>). 'argocd admin export' will not fail if you run it in the wrong namespace.
