+## How to leave if we ever go down
+
+We have no plans of shutting down the PDS, but for your benefit, here are the rough steps to migrate your data to another PDS if we ever do:
+
+0. Have custom keys in your did:plc or use a did:web.
+1. Grab the files for your DID from the [nightly backups S3 bucket](https://link.storjshare.io/s/jufla747mctifdglkggg2jqhvddq/pds-witchcraft-systems/backups/).
+2. Upload the CAR contents and the blobs to your new PDS.
+3. Point your DID at the new PDS.
+4. Update your handle if it was a subdomain of `pds.witchcraft.systems`.
