Exclude projects from Backup (Confluence and Jira)

[patrick-schneider-bht]

Hi everyone,

we are working on customer projects with our customer together in Confluence and Jira.

No we want to migrate all customer data from our instance to a new instance for the customer itself. Our first approach would be to export Confluence and Jira both respectively completely, and then import the two cloud backups to a new instance (because we also want to retain all workflows, issue types and so forth - single project backup is not an option there I think).

The problem would be that then ALL project data would be imported, also all projects that are classified to this one customer, so the question is, can we somehow exclude our internal projects from the Jira and Confluence backup?

The backups do what you expect from a backup - they back up everything.

If you want a partial migration, you'll need a different approach - the JCMA, CCMA, project configurator etc, all enable partial moves rather than having to do everything.

But JCMA and CCMA are not available for Cloud to Cloud?

How would one then approach to move a Jira project from one Cloudn instance to another and retain all workflows, issue types etc.?

Thanks for your answer so far!

A subquestion would be how this could be done programatically via API?
