You can use a snapshot and revive a node in a few hours...
Go into another Hived node, snapshot dump. Move the snapshot into another machine...
Restore it!
I did a full replay from an 8-core ARM processor, but I had 5x SSDs connected to it.
Thanks! Currently i dont know how to use the snapshot feature - more or less where to get it - or how to create my own and replay with it. We'll i guess give it a try once more during the day.
Replaying, at least you don't have to trust anyone else.
But either way, I was thinking, in case you had another hived node around already in sync... if so, you can just do...
hived --help is your friend... 😇🙃
It's very easy though...
Stop hived
./hived --dump-snapshot <snapshot_path>
Then copy the contents of the snapshot to another hived node.
./hived --load-snapshot <snapshot_path>
For both situations, if you add --exit-before-sync, it will exit after finishing creating/loading the snapshot...
Done
