Working with files

You can copy files from one environment to another environment in the Cloud Platform user interface, using either the Application > Environments page or the Application > [Environment] > Overview page for a particular environment.

To copy files from one environment to another environment using the Application > Environments page:

1. Drag a Files node from the source environment to the target environment.
2. In the confirmation dialog, click Copy.

To copy files from one environment to another environment using the Application > [Environment] > Overview page for a particular environment:

1. In Files, click Copy.

2. In the Copy files dialog, select the target environment that you want to copy files to, and click Continue.

   
3. In the confirmation dialog, click Copy.

Cloud Platform copies the files between the environments and updates the infrastructure with your changes. You can track the status of the file copying process in the Activity panel.

For information about how to copy some, but not all files from one environment to another, see Copying files to a different environment.

Cloud Next limitations

If you copy files from one Cloud Next environment to another, read the following limitations before you start:

• The maximum total size of files that can be copied is 1 TB.
• The maximum total number of files that can be copied is 300000.
• The maximum number of files in a single directory is 100000. Exceeding this value impacts the file copy performance.
• File copy operation times out after 12 hours.

Backing up your files

For information about how to back up your files, see File backups. Cloud Platform does not support the Backup and Migrate module.
