# Migrate From Existing Server
## Using the script
> [!WARNING]

1. Find a directory which is named by game server name and contains all saved game data,
usually it will at `~/Steam/steamapps/common/PalServer/Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/`
2. Make sure `migration/migrate.sh`, saved game data directory and mounted volume
(e.g. `palworld/`) are in the same directory. Like this:
```shell
ubuntu@VM-4-5-ubuntu:~/test-pal-migrate$ ll
total 24
drwxrwxr-x 4 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Jan 26 03:31 ./
drwxr-x--- 12 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Jan 26 03:31 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Jan 26 03:30 74406BE1D7B54114AA5984CCF1236865/
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 840 Jan 25 05:51 docker-compose.yml
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 848 Jan 26 03:31 migrate.sh
drwxrwxr-x 7 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Jan 26 03:31 palworld/
```
3. Run `migrate.sh` like this
```shell
./migrate.sh {CONTAINER_NAME} {SERVER_NAME}
```
For example,
```shell
./migrate.sh test-pal-migrate 74406BE1D7B54114AA5984CCF1236865
```
## Manually
1. Copy the save from your old dedicated server to your new dedicated server.
2. In the `PalServer\Pal\Saved\Config\LinuxServer\GameUserSettings.ini` file of the **new** server,
change the `DedicatedServerName` to match your save's folder name. For example,
if your save's folder name is `2E85FD38BAA792EB1D4C09386F3A3CDA`, the DedicatedServerName changes to
DedicatedServerName=`2E85FD38BAA792EB1D4C09386F3A3CDA`.
3. Delete the entire new server save at `PalServer\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\0\<your_save_here>`,
and replace it with the folder from the old server.
4. Restart the new server
