Hi, Community!

I need to migrate my Dremio setup from one AWS account to another and would like to know the best way to approach this. Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on:

1. How to transfer Dremio metadata between accounts.
2. The best method to move S3 bucket data to the new account.
3. Any tips for setting up the infrastructure and ensuring everything works smoothly in the new environment.

Has anyone done this before or have any recommendations? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

@geronimomorais The only thing is as you told is the metadata, how many promoted pds do you have? If there are too many then there is a feature that I need to check if it is also included in Community edition

We are currently using **Dremio BYOL version 24.1.3** from the AWS Marketplace and want to migrate to another AWS account. However, we encountered several issues:

- **Snapshots didn’t work.**
- **Copying the `db` folder and running `dremio-admin upgrade` resulted in a KVStore version error.**
- **Copying only the `catalog` folders from `db` led to this error when starting Dremio:**

```auto
Process user (dremio) doesn't match local catalog db owner (ec2-user). 
Please run process as ec2-user.

```

Even though all folders are owned by the `dremio` user.

Since version **24.1.3** is no longer available on the AWS Marketplace (only **24.3.13** is), how do you suggest we proceed with the migration?

@geronimomorais Looks like your old KVstore owner is different from current process owner?

I’m having the same issue here. I need to migrate as well and I’m concerned about data loss. Can you share if it went well? Is there a way to transfer them without losing all account settings and saved queries?
