The specific time of downtime will be announced in our [announcements channel](https://vern.cc#community) before the migration. + +The amount of data to be backed up and copied is around 220 GB. + +I estimate that the migration will take up around 6 hours in total (including backup to MirrorHDD, resizing, copying etc.) and we would have around 2 hours of downtime total. + +We apologize for this downtime but if we do not do it now it would be a pain to do it in the future due to more storage use etc. + +~aryak
