  • I don't know how your setup is since my Servarica vps is one large volume. But can you unmount the 4TB HD, reinstall the OS, then remount it after the install? @servarica_hani what are his options?

    By installing new OS on your SSD, your data on 4TB HDD would be still there.
    After/By configuring your server, mount your HDD as you want in configs.

    Hi @weir1

    the safest way is that we will give you another vps you can install your os of choice into then you manually move the data from old to new

    the option to keep extra disks depend on how your vm disks is configured
    the idea is that for windows VPS for example we configure it as 2 separate disks which means using this option you will only reinstall the OS disk and the remaining disks will be reattached to new VPS

    if you see all your disks as 1 big disk this option will not be useful

    just wait a bit and one of the admin will create new vm for you to move your data (free)
