### Full migration procedure



Back from the top, migrating from server A to server B, with a rename,

should be like this. This assumes server B followed the [installation

procedure](#installation) and has an up to date blockchain.



On server A:



    systemctl stop btcpayserver

    tar cfz backup.tgz /var/lib/docker/volumes/



Copy `backup.tgz` to server B.



On server B:



    systemctl stop btcpayserver

    mv /var/lib/docker/volumes/generated_bitcoin_datadir/ /var/lib/docker/generated_bitcoin_datadir.bak/

    rm -rf /var/lib/docker/volumes/

    tar -C / -x -f -z backup.tgz

    mv /var/lib/docker/volumes/generated_bitcoin_datadir.bak/ /var/lib/docker/generated_bitcoin_datadir/

    /root/BTCPayServer/btcpayserver-docker/changedomain.sh btcpay.torproject.org

    systemctl start btcpayserver
