# Group repository storage moves API **(PREMIUM SELF)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/53016) in GitLab 13.9.
Group repositories can be moved between storages. This API can help you when
[migrating to Gitaly Cluster](../administration/gitaly/index.md#migrating-to-gitaly-cluster), for
example, or to migrate a [group wiki](../user/project/wiki/group.md).
As group repository storage moves are processed, they transition through different states. Values
of `state` are:
- `initial`: The record has been created, but the background job has not yet been scheduled.
- `scheduled`: The background job has been scheduled.
- `started`: The group repositories are being copied to the destination storage.
- `replicated`: The group has been moved.
- `failed`: The group repositories failed to copy, or the checksums did not match.
- `finished`: The group has been moved, and the repositories on the source storage have been deleted.
- `cleanup failed`: The group has been moved, but the repositories on the source storage could not be deleted.
To ensure data integrity, groups are put in a temporary read-only state for the
duration of the move. During this time, users receive this message if they try to
push new commits:
```plaintext
The repository is temporarily read-only. Please try again later.
```
This API requires you to [authenticate yourself](index.md#authentication) as an administrator.
APIs are also available to move other types of repositories:
- [Project repository storage moves API](project_repository_storage_moves.md).
- [Snippet repository storage moves API](snippet_repository_storage_moves.md).
## Retrieve all group repository storage moves
```plaintext
GET /group_repository_storage_moves
```
By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time, because the API results
are [paginated](index.md#pagination).
Example request:
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/group_repository_storage_moves"
```
Example response:
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"created_at": "2020-05-07T04:27:17.234Z",
"state": "scheduled",
"source_storage_name": "default",
"destination_storage_name": "storage2",
"group": {
"id": 283,
"web_url": "https://gitlab.example.com/groups/testgroup",
"name": "testgroup"
}
}
]
```
## Retrieve all repository storage moves for a single group
To retrieve all the repository storage moves for a single group you can use the following endpoint:
```plaintext
GET /groups/:group_id/repository_storage_moves
```
By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time, because the API results
are [paginated](index.md#pagination).
Supported attributes:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `group_id` | integer | yes | ID of the group. |
Example request:
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/repository_storage_moves"
```
Example response:
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"created_at": "2020-05-07T04:27:17.234Z",
"state": "scheduled",
"source_storage_name": "default",
"destination_storage_name": "storage2",
"group": {
"id": 283,
"web_url": "https://gitlab.example.com/groups/testgroup",
"name": "testgroup"
}
}
]
```
## Get a single group repository storage move
To retrieve a single repository storage move throughout all the existing repository
storage moves, you can use the following endpoint:
```plaintext
GET /group_repository_storage_moves/:repository_storage_id
```
Supported attributes:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `repository_storage_id` | integer | yes | ID of the group repository storage move. |
Example request:
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/group_repository_storage_moves/1"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"id": 1,
"created_at": "2020-05-07T04:27:17.234Z",
"state": "scheduled",
"source_storage_name": "default",
"destination_storage_name": "storage2",
"group": {
"id": 283,
"web_url": "https://gitlab.example.com/groups/testgroup",
"name": "testgroup"
}
}
```
## Get a single repository storage move for a group
Given a group, you can retrieve a specific repository storage move for that group,
through the following endpoint:
```plaintext
GET /groups/:group_id/repository_storage_moves/:repository_storage_id
```
Supported attributes:

}
```
## Schedule a repository storage move for a group
```plaintext
POST /groups/:group_id/repository_storage_moves
```

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
