Change Sync region
To change your remote vault's region, you will need to recreate your vault on a different Sync server. Note you can also change regions by using the Upgrade Sync encryption migration assistant, if your remote vault is on an older version.
Migrations are destructive
Always back up your vault before proceeding with a migration.
When you migrate a remote vault your data will be replaced. This means:
- Remote data will be removed from Obsidian servers, and vault data will be re-uploaded in its place.
- All version history for the vault will be lost.
