Hi @testdockerhub,

After installation of new jira instance you need to import your old data to new Jira instance .

to do so, you need to export old jira back and import to new jira instance

after export you find file in <Jira_home_directory>/export/export.zip

then you need to copy export.zip, attachments,avatars

from old jira data <Jira_home_directory>/data/attachments

<Jira_home_directory>data/avatars

<Jira_home_directory>/export/export.zip

copy To

new JIRA data <Jira_home_directory>/data/attachments

<Jira_home_directory>/data/avatars

<Jira_home_directory>/import/

after copy attachments,avatars and export.zip file start your new jira instance then

Administration->system->restore jira

give the export.zip file name and licence key, the click to restore ,

thanks @ajeet_singh for your answer..,but its not a small instance so i will not an XML File to backup, i will make a backup on the MSSQL Database itself and then connect it to my new instance.

but im not sure if i will get all my files and attahcment because i saw some pages that they mention to change some files on my configuration to make it work correctly and can view all my documents and attahcment that i had

@testdockerhub,

before start first time your new jira instance,

1. create new DB, and restore you old db dump to new db,

2. copy old <Jira_home_directory> to new system and update the dbconfig.xml to point to new database ,

3.update <jira_app>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties

4. start your new jira instance ,
