Guides - Transfer a Block Storage Volume to a Different Linode

Updated , by Linode

Linode’s Block Storage service lets you increase your Linode’s storage capacity by attaching additional high-speed volumes. Volumes are managed independently of Linodes, so your data persists even if you delete your Linode.

Follow these steps to move a Block Storage Volume to a different Linode Compute Instance within the same data center.

Note
Volumes cannot be attached to Linodes that are in a different data center. See the Transfer Block Storage Data between Data Centers guide for help with migrating data on a Volume to a different data center.

  1. Detach the Volume from the original Linode. See Detach a Block Storage Volume from a Linode for instructions.

  2. Attach the Volume to the desired Linode within the same data center as the original Linode. See Attach a Block Storage Volume to a Linode for instructions.
