Hi Railway team,
I changed the region of a service that had a persistent volume attached, and all the data that was stored on the volume (~2 GB of uploaded
image/video files) is now gone. The service is back online, but the volume appears empty.
I understand region changes may recreate the volume in the new region, but I was not aware the existing data would not be migrated, and I
urgently need to recover it.
Details:
- Project name: luminous-inspiration
- Service name: file uploader
- Public domain: web-production-d38dc.up.railway.app
- Volume name: web-volume
- Old region (where the data was): US West Cal
- New region (current): Singapore
- Approx. time of the region change (UTC): maybe UTC 03:15~02:25
- Plan: Pro
My questions / requests:
- Is the volume from the old region still retained on your side? If so, can you reattach it to this service or export its data so I can
recover the files?
- Is there any automatic backup / snapshot of this volume taken before the region change that can be restored?
- If recovery isn't possible by reattaching, can your engineering team retrieve the data from the old region's underlying storage?
Time-sensitivity: I have not redeployed or written new data since discovering this, to avoid overwriting anything.
I'd really appreciate a fast response, as I understand the old storage may be reclaimed over time. Thank you very much for your help.
