# Moving a Validating Node

This guide is for active validators who want to move their node to another machine. There are two primary methods to achieve this, outlined below.
This guide is for active validators who want to move their node to another machine.

## Method One: Copying the Data to a New Location
## Swapping Keys with a Hot Backup

This method is simple but requires downtime. The node needs to download all the blocks generated while it is stopped.

1. Stop the node.
2. Copy the node's data to a new mount:

```bash
rsync -av --inplace --sparse /var/lib/casper/ /new_mount
```

3. Change the mount point.
4. Restart the node.

## Method Two: Swapping Keys with a Hot Backup

This method is a safer option, limiting downtime and enabling a smooth transition from the old to the new node. It keeps the node in sync with the tip of the chain.
This method limits downtime and enables a smooth transition from the old to the new node. It keeps the node in sync with the tip of the chain.

1. Once a node is running (`current_node`), create a second node (`backup_node`) on another machine. These two nodes will run in parallel.
2. When the `backup_node` is up to date, stop both nodes.
