Importing a Drupal site archive

Note

This method does not work with Drush 9 and 10 as the archive commands were removed in these versions. However, they were restored in Drush 11 and later. If you are using Drush 9 and 10 and want to import your Drupal site, use the manual import process instead.

Prerequisites

You must prepare your Drupal application for export before initiating the import process. For more information, visit Preparing a Drupal application for export.
