Recovering data from my free plan

Where's my data?

AppFog changed the resource thresholds for free plans on February 19th. As part of that change, free plan users now have a limit of two service bindings for their apps. The previous limit for service bindings was eight. If you are on a free plan and previously had more than two service bindings, this post will help you recover your data.

Recovering Data

In order to recover data from a service binding, you'll need to use the af command line tool to create a tunnel. Keep in mind, though, each tunnel you create consumes one of your two available service bindings and one of your two application slots. This means you can only access two services at any one time, whether through a tunnel or one of your running applications.

Our recommendation is to export you data prior to restarting any of your applications via af tunnel. For more details on tunneling, please see our documentation.
