Migrate Jira home directory from Linux to Windows

Software N3B

We are testing a migration from Linux to Windows and are at the point where we need to migrate the home directory contents.

Do we simply override all home directory content on the new server with the content from the old server?

Or, do is there a more detailed approach?

I strongly suggest you take a JIRA backup, install JIRA on the windows server, update the the configuration to point the database you want to use and import the backup. then move the attachments to the new location if there is one. The windows install will setup JIRA as a service, which is what you want.

Yes, that is what we've done and it is complete.

The question is:

What contents are you talking about? Are you keeping the attachments there? I don't use service desk so there may be things I'm not familiar with. I've always used a separate server for the database and attachments. I've move several times and never had to get anything from the home directory.

Specifically the data directory. Attachments, caches, plugins, etc.
