Project Migration from one instance to another(Server to Server)

[Kiran_Kumar]

I checked several add-ons to migrate projects and most of them seems complicated to export and import.

So I came with a plan to manually create the project on the new which matches exactly the old one and export the issue data from old and import it to new.

Does that sounds like a good plan? Am I going to lose data?

Hi @Kiran_Kumar !

If you need help to get started with the migration tool from the Marketplace, we are more than happy to jump on a quick call and guide you through the process. It should be fairly straight forward and you can also ask any questions you might have. 

Check out https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211147/project-configurator-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview and let me know if you want any help!

Cheers,

Hello,

You will loose the history of all tickets. Also you need to create all sprints and versions, which you are going to import, before the import.

How about taking backup of entire instance and choosing the projects at Import?

You can try. Kindly read this info:

Please, pay attention that it is not a trivial task to restore a project, it may require to perform some configuration in your destination Jira instance.
