How Do I Restore Data to a New Server?

You can restore data on your original server to a new server in either of the following ways:

• Method 2:

  If a new server has already been created, perform the following steps:

  

  Data consistency is not guaranteed using method 2.

  1. Back up the disks on the original server.

     Ensure that all disks on the server are backed up. For how to back up server disks, see Creating a Cloud Disk Backup.

  2. Create new disks from the backups.

     Create new disks using their backups one by one. For details, see Using a Backup to Create a Disk.

  3. Attach the new disks to the new server. For details, see section "Attaching a Non-Shared Disk" or "Attaching a Shared Disk" in the Elastic Volume Service Getting Started.
