# Database operations without a shell

Restart, redeploy, rebuild from scratch, resize, rotate credentials, expose a host port, move to another environment. Engine config files are edited in the browser and applied with a reroute.

## Move to another server

A database moves between servers with its data copied host to host. Both sides are stopped for the copy, and a failed copy rolls back instead of starting an engine on an emptied volume.
