Hi! I would like to migrate my Umbelnode to a new computer. The Bitcoinnode is 100% syncronized. Now I’ve restored the Lightningnode with the 24 words, but don’t see any funds yet. When I go to “Recover Channels” a window comes up saying “Lightning Node is currently syncing.” How long is it going to take? ---

I had the lightningnode running for about 12 hours. because still nothing has worked, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Bitcoinnode. but now the blockchain has to be downloaded again ☹ when it’s done i’ll try again ---

So, the blockchain is synchronized and I have the same problem - the LN node has been running since the beginning of the blockchain synchronization. This has now been at 100% for about 9 hours. Unfortunately I don’t have a current backup of the Channel.db (my-umbrel-channels.backup) - only the automatic backup. Is there anything else I can try? Many Thanks Regards ---

Hi @rene any update now? You are all blocks showing synchronized? Do you mind to share a recent debug log to review? You can reference “Generating Troubleshooting Logs” [listed here](http://community.umbrel.com/t/official-umbrel-troubleshooting-guide-and-faq/9873) ---

Hi @wario007, @usernameisJim, Thank you for your answers. In the meantime I have closed all channels on the old node and withdrawn all funds. now i install a new node. Unfortunately, the restore from the backup did not work. ---

i still had a working umbrel on a raspberry - i actually wanted to migrate it to a new computer. I simply restarted the rasberry and transferred all funds. ---
