Cloud to Server Migration

Question

I'm just in the exploratory stages right now, but wondering if anyone has done a cloud to server migration, and what your experience was like.

We've got a modest Jira cloud footprint from a company we acquired last year.  We need to get their Jira projects imported into our existing on prem server.  I've managed the absorption of multiple sites, but this is the first Cloud instance.  To add to the complexity, the cloud instance has 1 next-gen project.  The next-gen project is a bit older and probably not needed anymore, so I'm expecting to get approval to remove it. or covert it to classic

Assuming I can get rid of my next-gen project..  How did you find the process of importing your data.  Were you able to use your cloud backup to import projects directly, or did you have to use the cloud backup to create a full temporary site, and then take a backup from that?

If you tried the above and didn't like the output, did you find an alternate method that gave better results?

Thanks @Sachin Dhamale I was thinking that was my only route forward at this point.  The next-gen project needs to be addressed...

@Matt Wilson ,

I have migrated the Project from cloud to server instance.

Please note Next Gen Project you can not migrate. either you can migrate those issue to classic project if you really want to migrate those issues or you can delete next net project.

In Cloud - you can take a backup for server its a feature if you migrate the project to the server instance. and you can import that backup in server instant.
