How to transfer a 200GB website from one VPS to another?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Good afternoon.
There is a site on Bitrix. Together with all caches and uploads, it weighs 200GB. You need to clone it from one VPS to another. What is the fastest way to arrange a move? Suggestions like "don't bring cache folders with you", etc. not suitable, because everything needs to be transferred.

Answer 1

mysqldump and rsync

Answer 2

ssh [email protected] "tar czf - /some/dir"  |  tar xzf -

there will be a load on the disk and cpu, less traffic - if you remove z then there will be no load on the cpu, but the traffic will be spent in full
there will be no consistency if /some/dir is frequently updated

Answer 3

I think that direct copying via ssh will be the easiest:
The command should be run from the machine where you want to transfer the site. To increase the speed, of course, you can pre-pack the directory (but this is additional gestures, time and space [for another portion of at least 150-200GB]).
I transferred a large Canadian portal to Amazon (to Virginia servers) in this way. The speed between servers was about 11MB, so 200GB, unpackaged, should teleport in 5 hours.
Try to measure at least the speed between your servers first.

Answer 4

first the sim3x option , then rsync, then turn off the web server on the first vps and the second rsync. Well, copy the database.
