## Remote Backends
|
||||
|
||||
When using Terraform import on the command line with a [remote
|
||||
backend](/docs/backends/types/remote.html), such as Terraform Cloud, the import
|
||||
command runs locally, unlike commands such as apply, which run inside your
|
||||
Terraform Cloud environment. Because of this, the import command will not have
|
||||
access to information from the remote backend, such as workspace variables.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to use Terraform import with a remote state backend, you may need to
|
||||
set local variables equivalent to the remote workspace variables.
