### Migrating between backends
Currently, migration between backends is freely possible. To do so, you only
have to move the directories (and their contents) between the different implementations.
One way to do so, is by utilizing the [MinIO
Client](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide.html). The
migration process might look something like this:
```bash
# 1. Change the GoToSocial configuration to the new backend (and restart)
# 2. Register the S3 Backend with the MinIO client
mc alias set scw https://s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
# 3. Mirror the folder structure to the remote bucket
mc mirror /gotosocial/storage/ scw/example-bucket/
# 4. Aaaand we're done!
```
If you want to migrate back, switch around the arguments of the `mc mirror` command.
