Migrating to SQL Server

[Jose Salinas]

We have in production an instance of Bamboo version 3.1.4 buil 2415. 

The idea is migrate to Bamboo to an SQL Server database.

I would like know if Bamboo provide a similar tool included in FisheEye/Crucible 

where the migration to SQL Server can be done from the Crucible administration 

console.

I think that it process is better than the process of create a DB buckup and then 

make a migration with native tools.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Jose

You don't need a db backup / native tools to migrate Bamboo.

The process is fairly easy:

1. set up a fresh Bamboo instance on SQL server,
2. export Bamboo into a file from Bamboo Administration console.
3. Import the file into the new instance (you can also do it during setup of the new instance).

Thanks Przemek.

According to documentation http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO031/Exporting+Data+for+Backup there is a limitation when we performed the exportation.

This limits the maximum ZIP file length to 4GB and exports will fail if the resultating ZIP is over that.
