# About migrating
|
|
|
|
The process of migrating from Elasticsearch OSS (including Open Distro for Elasticsearch) to OpenSearch varies depending on your current version of Elasticsearch OSS, install type, tolerance for downtime, and cost-sensitivity. Rather than concrete steps to cover every situation, we have general guidance for the process.
|
|
|
|
To safeguard against data loss, we recommend that you take a [snapshot]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/snapshot-restore/) of all indices prior to any migration.
