Thanks Vicky :)

Cause i need the same version of Mysql 5.6 and jira 6.1.1+Jira agile 6.8.8 and its look like a better thing to do instead backup and restore the xml am i right?
by Upgrading to 6.4 its just:
1.upgrade java 1.7 to 1.8

2.update  add-ones

....mysql no need to change  or to get a new mysql install install

...and when all finished i can clone this  machine to the new data center

Why don't you do a new install of JIRA Software ( Core+Agile) on your new DataCentre? Why do you still use JIRA Agile Add-On ?

Anyway, if you don't want to I suggest you upgrade your JIRA first.
