If YunoHost's archive system is not convenient enough to migrate a server, you can also [migrate from server to server with rsync](https://www.man42.net/blog/2017/07/how-to-migrate-a-debian-server/).

**The Yunohost archive system migration consist in :**
- Preparing a check-list can help
- Install Yunohost on your new server ([see](https://doc.yunohost.org/en/admin/get_started/install_on/))
The next steps can be done or via web interface or via CLI commands
- Proceed to an upgrade of the newly installed server
- Restore the system .tar(.gz) archive(s)
- Restore the applications .tar(.gz) archive(s)

<Tabs groupId="admin-commands">
<TabItem value="web" label="From the web interface">
If you want to use the Web Interface then, you'll have to proceed to Post Installation. Choose the same main domain and the same first user as in your source server.

Proceed to a [system updgrade](https://doc.yunohost.org/en/admin/upgrade/).

Place your .tar(.gz) archives in the folder : `/home/yunohost.backup/archives/`

Go in the Backup menu, select the archive conresponding to the system backup and restore it. You should find back all your users, groups, domains, certs, ...

Then select the archive(s) corresponding to your applications and restore them (one by one recommended).

You should be good to go.
</TabItem>

<TabItem value="cli" label="From the command line">
You don't need to do the postinstall.

Proceed to a system updgrade via `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`

Go in the folder containing the archives.

Restore the system part by `sudo yunohost backup restore Archive_containing_the_system_backup.tar --system`

Restore the applications by `sudo yunohost backup restore Archive_containing_the_apps_backup.tar --apps` (If you want to restore app by app, just add the app Id after --apps)

You should be good to go.

## Merge 2 YunoHost servers

If you merge 2 servers together, you will need to recreate the users, domains and permissions of the first server on the destination server. Then you can restore app by app.
