Migrating from a Single Instance to a Cluster
{% hint 'info' %} Before migrating from a Single Instance to a Cluster, please make sure to read the Single Instance vs. Cluster page. {% endhint %}
{% hint 'warning' %} If you have developed your application using a Single Instance and you would like to use a Cluster now, before upgrading your production system please test your application with the Cluster first. {% endhint %}
To migrate from a Single Instance to a Cluster you will need to take a backup from the Single Instance and restore it into the Cluster with the tools arangodump and arangorestore.
{% hint 'warning' %} If both your Single Instance and Cluster are running on the same machine, they should have distinct data directories. It is not possible to start a Cluster on the data directory of a Single Instance. {% endhint %}
