How do i successfully migrate my Jira/Confluence Server to cloud with the following challenges?

Question

The Present Jira/Confluence Instance server is totally decommission. Cannot be used or powered on. I have a clean back up of the DATA. however i was going to use the migration assistance App which i cannot obviously use with the server down. My confluence data, pages, space etc are very important. I can't lose them. Same for the projects and every data i have in Jira. My confusion and question  is how can i make use of the backup or restore the back in the cloud? without losing and thing and gaining full functionality.

Hi @Efetobore Omadevuae ,

Welcome to the community.

In the cloud, there is an option to import a server backup, so this will probably be the only way to get your data into cloud.

But if you have only backups from the built-in backup, all your attachments will be missing, because they are not included in the backup.

Another way may be to setup a new server, import your backup there and then use the migration app.
