### Upgrade
An **upgrade** requires a new OS image and thus involves creating the Cloudron from scratch.
This process involves creating a new server with the latest code and restoring it from the
last backup. Currently only Cloudrons using the **S3 backup storage** support upgrades.
Read more about [backup storage](#s3), otherwise contact us in our [chat](https://chat.cloudron.io).

* List the latest backup - `cloudron machine backup list <domain>`
* Make the latest box backup (files starting with `backup_`) public. This can be done from the AWS S3 console as seen here:
* Make the backup available for the new cloudron instance:

* `File system` - When storing backups in `/var/backups`, you have to make the box and the app backups available to the new Cloudron instance's `/var/backups`. This can be achieved in a variety of ways depending on the situation: like scp'ing the backup files to the machine before installation, mounting the external backup hard drive into the new Cloudron's `/var/backup` OR downloading a copy of the backup using `cloudron machine backup download <domain>` and uploading them to the new machine. After doing so, pass `file:///var/backups/<path to box backup>` as the `--restore-url` below.
* Create a new Cloudron by following the [installing](/references/selfhosting.html#installing) section.
When running the setup script, pass in the `--encryption-key` and `--restore-url` flags.
