How to Recover a Website After a Failed File System Migration

11/10/2026

A migration can copy files while losing ownership, symlinks, permissions, or application-specific files.

Checks to make

Compare source and target manifests, verify ownership and permissions for the runtime user, inspect symlinks and configuration files, and test on an isolated host. Restore missing data from a verified copy and document any writes made since cutover.
