Putting it on a volume sounds like a plan, thanks.  For now, there wasn't a whole lot of data, so scp was good enough.

What should I do with replica.my.cnf?  Should I just copy that over to the new instance, or is it host-specific?

Yep, you might also just use a volume for the data, and then next time you just have to umount from the old instance and
remount on the new one.

Depending on how much you have to copy, using a volume might be a little
quicker? (i.e., mount it on the old instance, copy the data to it, remount
it on the new instance, copy the data off)



Kind regards,

I've already spun up a bullseye instance

Is there some easy way to move all my data to the new machine, or should I
just copy it over manually with scp or something like that?
