Your account has a Postgres service and an n8n service in the "robust-passion" project, plus a "Hermes Agent" service. Could you clarify which service lost data and what you mean by "upgrade" (e.g., upgrading n8n version, upgrading Postgres, or upgrading your Railway plan)? If data was stored on the ephemeral filesystem rather than in a volume or database, it is not recoverable after a redeploy. If your Postgres service has a volume with backups configured, you can restore from a backup in the service's Backups tab, as described in our backups documentation.

can you copy my previous data from /root/trading folder to /data/trading folder?


IIRC if your application stored data in the / directory, that would not be stored in the volume, since volumes can't be mounted at /.

Did your application save data in /?

my data was under /root/trading


Is your volume currently mounted at /data or /root?

Can you double check the current mount path by clicking into the volume then going into its settings?

yes /data


Change it to /root and save the changes.

Redeploy your service after.

but i found some data are still in /data


If your volume was mounted under /data and you tried saving data into /root, the data would not be stored in the volume, and would be unrecoverable if lost.

oh my god, any alternative?


As I mentioned above, data stored in ephemeral paths are not recoverable once lost.

Upgrading plans would not affect how the volume was mounted. If you lost data, it was most likely stored in an ephemeral path and redeployed at some point, and thus, cannot be recovered.

As mentioned above, you can deploy a Filebrowser instance, unmount your volume from your service (make sure to remove all deployments before this step), and mount the volume to Filebrowser. You should be able to download the files from there. Make sure to add the variable USE_VOLUME_ROOT=1 to the Filebrowser service.
