how to create a test instance replicating our actual Jira?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone would know the steps for creating a test environment in Jira that replicates your active database. this test instance would be a playground for prototype testing and should not affect the actual database in any way.

Thanks!

a test environment in Jira that replicates your active database

Maybe we have another definition of replication. But if you would replicate your active database how do you expect changes on the QA environments to be persisted?

Anyway: as you are on Jira Cloud the only way to have a test environment is by having a 2nd Jira instance doing an export/import of a backup. See this KB article for more information about restores.
