Migrate from Jira Cloud to Server

[Shindy]

Hello,

I've read about the possibility to migrate a site from Jira Server to Cloud. Is the way from Cloud to Server also possible?

Hi @Shindy ,

Yes that is possible technically, however please make sure to check for all the plugin you have installed in the source JIRA, if they do support migration. This is very important as without this validation you might end of loosing plugin specific data in the migrated instance.

Here are some similar action plan listed:

Hi @Shindy 

If you go to Admin > System > Backup Manager, there is an option to Create backup for Server.

Note though that if your cloud instance has any Next-gen projects, you will need to migrate all project data to non next-gen projects and delete them before being able to create a backup for server, as Jira Server does not allow next-gen projects.

Hope this helps!

Hey all, I am going through the same thing. Do you have any advice on what to do on the server side to receive the import file?
