A three-step cutover
- Create the ScalaHosting server in Finland first so the new IP is ready before DNS changes.
- Move data with rsync or a restic backup — snapshots help you roll back at the destination.
- Lower the DNS TTL to 300 seconds a day ahead, cut over, then keep UpCloud running for a week as a fallback.
