Everything you need to know is here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Migrating+JIRA+to+Another+Server

It's quite easy but if you're not certain about any part of it just ask!

i made a backup file i.e. backup.xml and when exported it, it said "XML file seems to b new version of JIRA, it will not work"

is thr any way to import that xml file ??

i m exporting data from newer version to older version

Huh? You're downgrading JIRA? What versions of JIRA are you migrating from/to?

[MatthewC]

Yep, it sounds like your current Jira is a newer version than the one you just installed. Have a look at the footer of a page on both servers & check. You can't back in versions, only same-to-same or to a newer version

4.2.2 to 4.2

i really didn't mean to downgrade JIRA
