Can this be used to migrate tiller configmaps from one namespace to another

Open koustubh25 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I am trying to migrate the existing tiller installation from kube-system namespace to tiller namespace.

I created a backup like this helm backup -l OWNER=TILLER -t kube-system dev and then trying to restore like this helm backup --file dev.tgz dev --restore -t tiller

However, I get this error:

the namespace from the provided object "kube-system" does not match the namespace "tiller". You must pass '--namespace=kube-system' to perform this operation.

Does this mean that the source and the destination namespace has to be the same?
