Moving a project from attalasian cloud A to a new atlassian cloud B account

[Fareez]

We are looking to moving a board or project from Jira cloud A to Jira cloud B.

Jira cloud B is configured and working well with its own projects. I have seen the export and import option in the system settings but our backup is about 30gb from Jira cloud A. I can't seem to find a tutorial in the community or on youtube on importing only a single project using this method. Please could you guys advise me on the best method on getting this done?

Below Video illustrates the move to a new Jira cloud account that has no existing data.

There is a selection "merge user data from export from the export file with user data that already exist in your cloud site"

but I don't know if that would dump all my Jira cloud A data into the Jira cloud B account

Hi @Fareez ,

You can't use this process to import a specific project while maintaining your existing site data. To request the ability to import only specific projects, watch and vote for the Jira ticket:

How to import only part of a Jira export into Jira Cloud

Merging multiple sites and importing single projects from another cloud site is not currently a supported feature in Jira Cloud. However, there are workarounds available. This page outlines those workarounds, along with some considerations for each option.

Hi Ollie,

Thanks for the quick response.

You saved me hours of time just by confirming.

I am looking at those tickets now.
