 ## Dual write to InfluxDB 2.x and InfluxDB Cloud
 Update external clients to write to your InfluxDB Cloud instance.
 **We recommend writing data to both InfluxDB 2.x and InfluxDB Cloud until you

-
-    - `INFLUX_TOKEN`: InfluxDB 2.x API token
-    - `INFLUX_CLOUD_TOKEN`: InfluxDB Cloud API token

-3.  Use the command provided in your [Telegraf Setup Instructions](/influxdb/cloud/telegraf-configs/#use-influxdb-telegraf-configurations)
-    to restart Telegraf with the updated configuration and begin writing to both

+
+If you want to back up your data in two places, or if you're migrating from OSS to Cloud, you may want to set up dual write.
+
+Use Telegraf to write to both InfluxDB OSS and InfluxDB Cloud simultaneously.
+
+The sample configuration below uses:
+  - The [InfluxDB v2 output plugin](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/outputs/influxdb_v2) twice: first pointing to the OSS instance and then to the cloud instance.
+  - Two different tokens, one for OSS and one for Cloud. You'll need to configure both tokens as environment variables (see [Configure your token as an environment variable](/influxdb/v2.1/write-data/no-code/use-telegraf/auto-config/#configure-your-token-as-an-environment-variable).
+
+Use the configuration below to write your data to both OSS and Cloud instances simultaneously.
+
+## Sample configuration
+
+```
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+[[inputs.mem]]
+
+## Any other inputs, processors, aggregators that you want to include in your configuration.
+
+# Send data to InfluxDB OSS v2
+[[outputs.influxdb_v2]]
+  ## The URLs of the InfluxDB instance.
+  ##
+  ## Multiple URLs can be specified for a single cluster, only ONE of the
+  ## urls will be written to each interval.
+  ## urls exp: http://127.0.0.1:9999
+  urls = ["http://localhost:8086"]
+
+  ## OSS token for authentication.
+  token = "$INFLUX_TOKEN_OSS"
+
+  ## Organization is the name of the organization you want to write to. It must already exist.
+  organization = "influxdata"
+
+  ## Destination bucket to write to.
+  bucket = "telegraf"
+
+# Send data to InfluxDB Cloud - AWS West cloud instance
+ [[outputs.influxdb_v2]]
+  ## The URLs of the InfluxDB Cloud instance.
+
+  urls = ["https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com"]
+
+  ## Cloud token for authentication.
+  token = "$INFLUX_TOKEN_CLOUD"
+
+  ## Organization is the name of the organization you want to write to. It must already exist.
+  organization = "example@domain.com"
+
+  ## Destination bucket to write into.
+  bucket = "telegraf"
