# Migrating to remote-backed storage

This is an experimental feature and is not recommended for use in a production environment. For updates on the progress of the feature or if you want to leave feedback, see the associated [GitHub issue](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/issues/7986).
{: .warning}

Introduced 2.14
Introduced 2.15
{: .label .label-purple }

Remote-backed storage offers a new way to protect against data loss by automatically creating backups of all index transactions and sending them to remote storage. To use this feature, [segment replication]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/segment-replication/) must be enabled.

Review [Upgrading OpenSearch]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/upgrade-opensearch/index/) for recommendations about backing up your configuration files and creating a snapshot of the cluster state and indexes before you make any changes to your OpenSearch cluster.

Before migrating to remote-backed storage, upgrade to OpenSearch 2.14.
Before migrating to remote-backed storage, upgrade to OpenSearch 2.15 or later.

As of OpenSearch 2.14, OpenSearch nodes cannot be migrated back to document replication. If you need to revert the migration, then you will need to perform a fresh installation of OpenSearch and restore the cluster from a snapshot. Take a snapshot and store it in a remote repository before beginning the upgrade procedure.
Before upgrading to OpenSearch 2.15, take a cluster snapshot and store it remotely. OpenSearch 2.15 nodes cannot revert to document replication. If migration needs to be undone, perform a fresh OpenSearch installation and restore from the remote snapshot. Securely storing the snapshot remotely allows retrieving and restoring it if issues arise during migration.

1. Set the `remote_store.compatibility_mode` setting to `mixed` to allow remote-backed storage nodes to join the cluster. Then set `migration.direction` to `remote_store`, which allocates new indexes to remote-backed data nodes. The following example updates the aforementioned setting using the Cluster Settings API:

Use the following cluster settings to enable migration to a remote-backed cluster.

| Field | Data type | Description |
| :--- |:--- |:---|
| `remote_store.compatibility_mode` | String | When set to `strict`, only allows the creation of either non-remote or remote nodes, depending upon the initial cluster type. When set to `mixed`, allows both remote and non-remote nodes to join the cluster. Default is `strict`. |
| `migration.direction` | String | Creates new shards only on remote-backed storage nodes. Default is `None`. |
