Does backup/restore include customized Workflows and Custom Fields?

kdickason

We will be migrating our Jira projects to a new server environment. Do the customized workflows that have been created for the projects get included in the backup and restore or do I need to export then import the each worklow manually on the target system?  

Do Custom Fields get included in the backup and restore or do I need to manually re-create them on the target system? Is there any way to automate or export/import custom fields if they are not included in the backup/restore process?

Hi @kdickason - A complete export or DB export will include all the workflows and custom fields that exist in your instance. The XML backup includes all data in the database. However, it does not include your attachments directory, Jira application home directory, or Jira application installation directory, which are stored on the filesystem.
