Can archived projects be migrated between Jira instances ?

Question

I am looking for some information on project migration between instances. I have two JIRA instances, I want to know what happens if archived projects are migration from one instance to another. Does it cause any impact ?

Is there any documentation available on this topic, I couldn't find any.

Just another question, will there be an impact to jira if any duplicate project keys are introduced during the migration process ?

Do we have any articles regarding that ?

I'm just trying to analyze the impact to our jira instance when an archived/or duplicate project keys are introduced from a different jira instance within the same org . .

There are various ways to do that. Here are two articles from the official Atlassian docs which both describe doing it with some app:

* https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/migrating-projects-to-another-jira-instance-938847925.html
* https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/migrating-jira-projects-938847949.html

Maybe that helps?

Cheers,
Matthias.

Do we need any additional plugin to help with the project migration between jira instances ?
