We are using Couchbase in Amazon Cloud.

Seems like Couchbase resets itself when the instance gets another private IP.

1. Create a new EBS instance in Amazon
2. Install and setup Couchbase with a couple of buckets
3. Stop the instance in amazon
4. Start the instance again (not reboot!)
5. The server now gets a new private it (according to the norms of Amazon Cloud)
6. Going to the admin interface of Couchbase shows that the config is reset and all buckets are gone

How can we get back our data?

I found this:

http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-1.8/couchbase-bestpractic...

"By default, Couchbase Servers use their IP address as a unique identifier. If the IP changes, an individual node will not be able to identify its own configuration and other nodes that it was clustered to will not be able to access it."

And this identifier can not even be changed?
