Migrating Resources from a Vault

You can migrate vault resources when enterprise services change, and the original vault no longer aligns with the new service scale or required specifications.

Migrating a resource means that you dissociate a resource from a vault and then associate it to another vault. All backups of the resource will be migrated to the destination vault.

Notes and Constraints

  • Resources can be migrated only when the source and destination vaults are in the Available or Locked state.
  • Resources can be migrated only when no task is being executed in the source and destination vaults.
  • The remaining capacity of the destination vault must be greater than the size of resource backups to be migrated.
  • Cross-account resource migration is currently not supported.
  • Backups cannot be migrated between a single-AZ backup vault and a multi-AZ backup vault.
  • The source and destination vaults must be in the same region.
  • The source and destination vaults for resource migration must be of the same types. For example, resources in a server backup vault can be migrated to another server backup vault, but cannot be migrated to another disk backup vault.
  • Backups cannot be migrated between a single-AZ backup vault and a multi-AZ backup vault because they are different types of vaults.
