Hi @manvir

I assume that by snap you mean snapshots, all the attached files that you can associate to a story, task, issue…

There are two things to move when migrating data from one Taiga instance to another: the database (with _pg\_dump_) and the attachments stored in the _media/_ directory (copying the directory from one instance to the other).

Here you can find the information to make backups and restore docker instances.  
[https://docs.taiga.io/backup-and-restore.html](https://docs.taiga.io/backup-and-restore.html)

You just have to look at the [last section](https://docs.taiga.io/backup-and-restore.html#_migrate_the_media_files) to know how to create a _media_ backup and then restore it manually in your new instance.

I hope this will help you.

Best regards.

It is very difficult for me to diagnose what could be your problem without more information.

- I would need to see the system logs, especially from the backend,
- And check if the frontend throws any errors in the console of the development tools.
- Have you done the restore of the attached files (media directory) from the docker instance to the new instance?
