Migrate your data between clusters

You can protect your workloads by migrating the data between clusters.

Prerequisites

• Verify that both clusters use the same Kubernetes version. See Before migrating your cluster in the Velero documentation.
• Review the procedures for Start backing up Kubernetes clusters and Restore a Kubernetes cluster.

Procedure

1. Start backing up the target Kubernetes cluster that you want to migrate.
   1. Specify the namespaces or resources, and backup bucket.
2. Start backing up the destination Kubernetes cluster, where you want to migrate your workloads.
   1. Specify the namespaces or resources. Select the same backup bucket as the target cluster.
3. Restore all the workloads to the destination Kubernetes cluster.

Example

You start backing up Cluster A with a destination bucket Bucket 1. Backups are generated and stored to Bucket 1. You start backing up Cluster B with a destination bucket Bucket 1. You restore all the workloads that are stored in Bucket 1 to Cluster B.
