Xray backup restore

[Karoly.Tanczos]

We are using Jira Cloud and installed the Xray app for Test Managment. Jira Cloud provides the capability to backup Xray data (Jira Cloud backup doesn't contain all Test Managment data in Jira backups, but we are backing up Xray using the "Backup and Storage" menu in Jira Cloud under Settings -> Apps -> Xray -> Backup and Storage) and we would like to restore the Xray data to Jira Cloud.

Is there a way to restore the Xray backup data (multiple JSON files, such as archivedTestRuns, issueHistory, parameterValueLists, projectSettings, settings, testExecutions, testPlans, testRepository, testRunActivity, testRuns, tests, testSets)?

I know it is old thread but you might fid useful the tool I have created:

Hi Mateusz,

I had a look at your tool and find it very interesting.

How did you find out the JSON structure the Xray testcase importer uses? Is there a documentation or did you just guess?

I developed a tool that reads test cases and preconditions one by one with the GraphQL API and copies it to another Jira project. I have a running solution (but forgot about attachments).

Your approach looks more straightforward, though ;-)

I was able to spend some time on this, created an automated pipeline that is consuming the Xray backup JSON files, generate multiple JSON files with Test data that can be imported using Jira Test Case Importer feature to restore Xray data.
