How to Restore Production Jira to Development?

Question

We have a practice to restore production to lower environments periodically and we will need to do for JIRA now.

Any specific tables in Jira DB we need not refresh?

Any additional steps apart from below to be executed?

1. Disable email sending/receiving by uncommenting DISABLE_NOTIFICATIONS

2. Stop Jira
3. Replace the Dev Jira Home directory with the Prod Home directory.
4. Restore the database from prod to dev.
5. Start Jira

You can get your developer license from the Atlassian site and update it manually. If you want to automate the process, then you can change the license via sql queries. You can find more info here:
