Backup and restore project on cloud jira - so that I can delete a project

Taiji Okada

I'd like to delete some old projects, but we'd like to backup the project beforehand.

What is the best way to do this? It seems that I can do an the entire jira backup, but how do I restore a single project?

Alternative could be that I export the issues in to CSV and import as CSV when required. But what if the field does not exist anymore... (Does XML provide a better solution?)

Hi @Taiji Okada

If You Want Single Project Back up Use "Project Configuration Plugin " and And Restore The Single Project This Is The Best Way to do this

Three options:

addon
export issues to CSV - this doesn’t retain any configuration or workflows
‘Archive’ rather than delete - change permission scheme to hide project and prevent changes

Hi @Taiji Okada

The guys before me listed your options well, but if you would like to read about the topic in a bit more details, I summarized the different options here.

As @Taiji Okada said, you're going to need a plugin. There is no out of the box solution.

Is that available in cloud JIRA? I can't seem to find it.

Hi @Taiji Okada

Option one. It's the easy way to export your data but if you have many issues when export to waste to much time and size file verry large so i recommen you use option two (file just only data)

Go to the Jira Admin
On the left side, click on Issues and filters
On the top left of your screen, click on "Search issues"
Chose your project, type,status
On the top right of your screen, click on the "Export" drop down.
You can export via XML,CSV,RSS,WORK,...

Optione two (file zip backup have config system,data,info jira,project..)

Jira Admin ->Jira settings->System->Backup Manager. In there you have two options: Create backup for cloud and Create backup for server

I hope you find this helpful!

Nice post. I've actually archived into a CSV file (with all fields), rather than PDF. I feel that a CSV file would give me more flexibility to restore the issues. However, as you mentioned, we do lost a lot like linking issues.
