+
+This tutorial guides you through the process of migrating your Instance's Local Storage (`l_ssd`) to Scaleway Block Storage (SBS).
+By following these steps, you will be able to export your local storage and restart your Instance with SBS.
+
+
+- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)
+- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
+- An [Instance](/instances/how-to/create-an-instance/) using [Local Storage (`l_ssd`)](/local-storage/)
+- An [Object Storage bucket](/object-storage/how-to/create-a-bucket/) in the same geographical region as your Instance
+
+## Creating a snapshot of your Local Storage volume
+
+To begin the migration process, you need to create a snapshot of your Local Storage volume. This will allow you to export the snapshot and import it into a new SBS volume.
+
+1. Click **Instances** in the **Compute** section of the side menu. The [Instances page](https://console.scaleway.com/instance/servers) displays.
+2. Click the Instance you want to snapshot.
+3. Click the **Storage** tab to display the storage options of your Instance.
+4. Click > **Snapshot** next to the volume you want to snapsot.
+5. A pop-up displays. Choose a **name** for the snapshot, or use the default suggested name.
+6. Click **Create snapshot** to finish. You are redirected to the **Snapshots** tab in the **Local Storage** section of the Scaleway console, where your new snapshot now appears in the list.
+
+## Exporting the snapshot
+
+Once you have created the snapshot, you need to export it. This will allow you to import the snapshot into a new SBS volume.
+
+1. Click the [snapshots](https://console.scaleway.com/local-storage/snapshots) tab in the **Local Storage** section of the Scaleway console.
+2. A list of your Local Storage snapshots displays. Click > **Copy to bucket**.
+3. A pop-up displays. Enter a name for the QCOW2 export of your snapshot and select the Object Storage bucket to export your snapshot into from the drop-down list.
+
+ The Object Storage bucket must be in the same region as your snapshot.
+
+4. Click **Copy snapshot to bucket** to start the export.
+
+## Importing the snapshot into a new SBS volume
+
+After exporting the snapshot, you need to import it into a new SBS volume. This will create a new volume with the same data as your local storage volume.
+
+1. Click the [Object Storage section](https://console.scaleway.com/object-storage/buckets) of the Scaleway console, then click the bucket to which you have exported the snapshot. The snapshot copy should display in the list of your objects.
+
+ Depending on the size of your snapshot, the export to Object Storage may take some time. It is ready once the status indicator changes to green.
+
+2. Click next to the snapshot copy, then click **Import as snapshot**. A pop-up displays. Enter the name of the snapshot, select the destination AZ, and choose the snapshot type.
+ Select **Block SSD** as the snapshot type. Click **Import file as snapshot** to import the snapshot into the destination AZ.
+
+ - Ensure that the QCOW / QCOW2 image file you want to import uses the file extension `.qcow` or `.qcow2` to avoid issues during import.
+ - Imported snapshots must have a volume size between 1 GB and 1 TB.
+
+
+## Attaching the new SBS volume to your Instance
+
+Once the new SBS volume is created, you need to attach it to your instance. This will allow you to use the new volume as your primary storage.
+
+1. Click **Block Storage** in the **Storage** section of the Scaleway console side menu. The Block Storage page displays.
+2. Click **Attach an Instance** under the **Linked Instance** section.
+3. Select the Instance to which you want to attach your volume from the drop-down.
+4. Click **Attach volume to Instance**.
+
+
+ Alternatively you can [create a new Instance](/instances/how-to/create-an-instance/) and use the SBS volume as boot volume for your Instance.
+
+
+## Restarting your Instance
+
+After attaching the new SBS volume, you need to restart your instance. This will ensure that your Instance is using the new SBS volume as its primary storage.
+
+1. Click **Instances** in the **Compute** section of the side menu. The [Instances page](https://console.scaleway.com/instance/servers) displays.
+2. Click the Instance you want to reboot.
+3. Click **Actions** > **Reboot** in the top right corner of the Instance overview page.
+4. A pop-up displays to confirm the Instance reboot. Click **Reboot Instance**.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+By following these steps, you have successfully migrated your local storage (`l_ssd`) to Scaleway Block Storage (SBS).
+Your Instance is now up and running using SBS, and you can benefit from the advantages of Scaleway's advanced Block Storage solution.
+
+For furher information, refer to [How to migrate existing volumes and snapshots to Scaleway's new Block Storage management](/instances/how-to/migrate-volumes-snapshots-to-sbs/).
+
+
+ This tutorial does not cover specific modifications done by the user in the Instance that would break the mounting system.
+ If you have made any modifications, ensure that they are compatible with SBS before proceeding with the migration.
