Change Jira Studio for Jira Standalone

douglas cotta

Hi,

I have a backup of Jira Studio.

and I intend to "System Restore" to a Jira Standalone.

But, when I go to "System Restore" gives me the following error:

"This will wipe all existing JIRA content - make sure you backup first!
If you are Restoring Data from JIRA 3.x, you will need to enter in a 4.x license intothe license field below.

Either create the paths shown below and reimport, or reimport using default paths.

The attachment path C: \ Users \ nmason \ Applications \ Studio \Atlassian-jira-4.4-standalone \ jirahome \ data \ attachments specified in the backupfile is not valid. "

How can I solve this problem?

And which version of Jira Standalone should I use?

Best regards!

Hi Douglas,

The error about the attachments directory just means that the directory doesn't exist on the machine that you're running your local copy of JIRA on. So you either need to create it or select the option to use default paths as the message suggests. More information on backing up and restoring attachments can be found at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/Backing+Up+Data and
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/Restoring+Data

As for the version of JIRA, you need to use the same version as the version that the data was exported from. If you extract the backup zip file there is an entities.xml file which will tell you which version of JIRA the data was exported from. The version that you import in to must be the same as this.

Hope that helps,

Andrew.

The problem is that I'm trying to climb back up of JIRA STUDIO for JIRA STANDALONE. And I don't know how to solve it.

I think I'm understanding this, but correct me if I'm wrong.

You have a backup from JIRA Studio

You have a local install of JIRA

You want to restore your backup from JIRA Studio into your local installation

To do this:

1. The versions have to be the same. Check the entities.xml file in the backup ZIP you have from JIRA Studio to check what version of JIRA the data was exported from. If, for example, it says it was exported from 4.4.4 then your local version of JIRA has to be 4.4.4

2. The backup from JIRA Studio will contain information as to where the attachments were stored when you were using JIRA Studio, in your case C: \Users\nmason\Applications\Studio\Atlassian-jira-4.4-standalone\jirahome\data\attachments , this directory does not exist on the machine that is running your local installation of JIRA so you either need to manually create it or click the option on the restore tool for restoring using default paths

3. The backup data you have from JIRA Studio is a complete system backup so will overwrite any data that you currently have in your local installation of JIRA. If you have existing data that you wish to keep you need to make a backup from your local installation before you import the data from JIRA Studio.

I think the above covers what you have raised, but if I've misunderstood then please could you provide some more detail?

Does this help?

Andrew.
