doctl databases fork <name> [flags]
f
Creates a new database cluster from an existing cluster. The forked database contains all of the data from the original database at the time the fork is created.
The following example forks a database cluster with the ID f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 to create a new database cluster. The command also uses the --restore-from-timestamp flag to specifically fork the database from a cluster backup that was created on 2023 November 7:
doctl databases fork new-db-cluster --restore-from-cluster-id f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 --restore-from-timestamp 2023-11-07 12:34:56 +0000 UTC
