Thanks for the suggestion. Not a fan of unplanned migrations, but it seems like that’s in the cards. I’m gonna presume that you’re referring to this? [Move a Discourse site to another VPS with rsync](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-a-discourse-site-to-another-vps-with-rsync/43812)

Will there be any extra instructions if we’ve enabled DO Spaces (S3 storage)?

Given the time of the year, it’s going to be _really_ difficult (read: probably impossible) to coordinate the others for the needed changes in a timely manner.

I’d much rather revert to the state it was last working first so that I can plan a migration, instead.

Can anyone help?
