How to Restore the backup zip file?

[Ashwath Narayanan]

The Documentations seem to be for the older versions and the last updated date is June 2017. 

Can someone please help me with a Link that would explain how to Restore back up of Cloud Instance for the latest version of Jira??

Hi Ashwath,

Sorry you seem to have found an outdated document or document for an older version!

The most recently updated version of the document (for Jira Server 7.12) is available here.

One thing to be aware of (not currently in that document) is that you can't take a Cloud -> Server backup for a Cloud instance that has any Next-Gen projects. You'll either need to delete any of those projects or move all their issues to a Classic project. Otherwise, you should be all set if you don't have any Next-Gen projects created.

Cheers,
Daniel
