Error importing backup

Question

I made a backup in version 7.11.2. I reinstalled the Jira 7.11.2 on another server and when I try to import the backup I get this error.

Error importando datos: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported field encountered: binary

Thank you very much, it was very useful for me. I could not solve all the errors, but at least I have the jira with the data again.

Hello,

Open activeobjects.xml file and delete all fields with the binary type. You can find them by the binary keyword.
