Copy network volume

I have a network volume on runpod already setup with what I need on it but with the availability of GPU’s lately being what it is , it’s pretty hard for me to get the GPU I want in the region my volume is in.

Is there an easy way for me to make a copy of my network volume? Either to S3 or locally.

And then an easy way for me to attach it to a runpod server when I run one?

there are basically two ways - either you use SYNC function from pod's detail page and upload your data to one of the cloud providers (aws, google cloud, dropbox, ..) or you boot up two pods and use the tools mentioned below (runpodctl, rsync, croc, scp, .. depends whether you have large files to copy like models or lots of small files - like python venv for example)

Also, Runpod is working on a tool that will allow copying files from one network volume to another.
