Hi Larry,

thanks for sharing the information. when we upgrade the Jira instance simultaneously when we migrate servers, will these avatars work in the upgraded Jira instance

Hello @Padmasree P!

if i recall correctly, the <home>/data/avatar directory is where custom avatars uploaded by users are kept and if you migrate your server, that content should be copied to prevent loss.
