Data migration between instances using out of the box tools

Sanil Panicker

Hi,

We completed our Install and configurations of JIRA software in our Development server. Now we would like to move the entire Configurations and Data to our Newly installed Stage server. We do not have any additional add-ons tool, could you please help and let me know can I copy the database from Dev and restore it to Stage? What and how can we do the migration from Dev to stage, we need the whole configurations and data as is from dev.

We have our application on-premises and does not include data center.

Hello,

If you want to migrate configuration with all data then you can use backup/restore functionality. You can read more here:

If you want to migrate only configuration, you can migrate some of the database tables in the Jira instance database. You have to figure out yourself, which tables to migrate. I ve seen once such a migration, but I prefer not to use it, because it is not stable and prone to errors.
