I need to backup a JIRA instance from atlassian.net and the version of JIRA is
How do I do if I need to restore this backup within a JIRA Core Server version 7.0.9?
It is not recommended to restore cloud backup to an older version of JIRA server - check these instructions

If you still want to restore the backup on older version you can do this by modifying the build number in the backup xml file so it matches the server version, so JIRA will allow you to restore the backup, but you might encounter unexpected issues in case there are major schema changes between 7.0.9 and 7.2.0
"Not recommended" is putting it mildly. Atlassian does not support you doing this at all. If you want to move from JIRA Cloud to JIRA Core Server, you will need to use the most recent release of it, which is currently 7.1.4.
Chris, you are on the point.
Even if I upgrade to JlRA Core latest version, it is not enough to import from JIRA Cloud... JIRA Cloud is using a version impossible to align with JIRA Core. Already in version 7.2 for the cloud and still version 7.1.4 for the core...
When JIRA core will be align with the version 7.2, then the cloud will use another version... etc etc
Well, no, it doesn't work that way.
As the link Boris gave above explains, we do support a downgrade from the version that is cloud to the absolute latest version of server. So at present we support exporting from Cloud and importing to 7.1.4. You do not need to wait until JIRA Core 7.2 is released to be able to import.
Unless we expressly announce a blackout period, exporting from Cloud to the most recent JIRA Server version is always supported, regardless of the version numbers involved.
But 7.0.9 is not the latest version of server that we have released, so it is not supported.
