🔍 Server migrations

Migration is a process that involves transferring data to a new node, for example, due to infrastructure issues or excessive load. Its purpose is to: - improve server performance, - increase stability, - ensure compatibility with the latest technical solutions.


⚠️ I Received a Migration Notification — What Should I Do?

  1. Check the box to agree to the migration (this will be visible in the notification).
  2. Click the “Migrate” button, as shown in the illustration below.

Basic migration

🕒 The migration will take approximately 15 minutes, during which your server may be temporarily unavailable.

✅ This migration process is completely safe. There is no risk of data loss.

🚧 Migration Isn’t Working — What Now?

If the standard migration fails:

  1. Choose the “Force Migration” option.

    ⚠️ Warning: This option may result in the loss of recent data on the server due to loading the latest or a user-selected backup (see point 4).

  2. Check the box to agree to the migration.

  3. Click the “Migrate” button, as shown in the illustration below.

  4. Optional: Select a backup to use in case the latest server data cannot be restored.

    • If you don’t select a backup — the system will use the most recent one available.
    • If you do select one — in case of failure, the system will use the backup you chose.
