Importing multiple projects from JIRA Cloud backup

Prateek Phadke

I have a requirement to merge my projects from Cloud Instance with a JIRA Server instance.

How can it be done from the full system backup which I have taken from my JIRA Cloud instance? I know of normal project import 1-by-1 but that's really time consuming when I have more than 100 projects to be migrated.

Is there any other option possible?

Hello, Prateek!

You can import the Cloud backup into Jira Server, which will completely overwrite the target instance.

If you only want a selection of spaces, then the only option is to restore it to a Server instance (perhaps a staging instance in your case, if you only want certain projects), and make individual backups of the spaces you want to migrate. There's not an alternative here.

For more information, please review our documentation on Merging Jira Instances.
