Yes, the stages in the RDB Persistence extension are designed to guide you through reading various types of data from an RDB file.

If you have any specific questions about them or run into issues, feel free to discuss them here!

So if my understanding is correct the rdb file basically "SET"s the keys similar to the set command?

Yep, that’s correct! Reading an RDB file is essentially restoring data back into the database.
