Datacenter Migration

This product allows you to migrate your entire ElfHosted stack from the default location (Hetzner's Falkenstien DC in Germany), to our other regional datacenters, for lower latency / improved throughput. Use https://speed.elfhosted.com to determine the ideal datacenter based on your location.

How it works

Every 24h, your app volumes are backed up to cloud storage (the volsync pods you see on occasion). When you switch datacenter locations, your pods are removed from the source cluster, and recreated on the target cluster. Upon creation, volsync will attempt to populate your volumes from the latest backup from object storage. If there's no backup to restore, you'll just get a blank volume, just like a new installation.

Can I roll back?

Yes, "switch" this subscription within 7 days to roll back to your original datacenter, where your volumes persist for 7 days. If it's been more than 7 days, your volumes will have been cleaned up, and you'll either get the latest cloud backup, or a fresh installation.
