Database restore of previous version?

Rick Bryant April 26, 2012

We recently had some hardware failures on our network, and we lost our web box. Fortunately, we had a backup of our JIRA DB, but we hadn't upgraded to the latest version yet. We tried installing the latest version and simply pointing it at a restored version of the old DB, and that didn't work. It looks like there's no bulk migration option except for the XML export/import, which won't work unless we reinstall the old version first.

Are there other options that we've missed that would allow us to quickly restore the existing SQL Server DB and get up and running with the latest JIRA?

Is it even possible to download previous versions?

Thanks!

In place database upgrades were only officially supported as of JIRA 4.3

All versions are available for downloaded here - http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/download-archives
