In below article, can i get details of pointer 2 (Manually transfer the data.)

would it just be database backup ?

Alternative DB migration

If the database systems are:

• the same (for example, you are moving from PostgreSQL to another PostgreSQL) OR
• compatible (for example, you are moving from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008),

you can move the data manually. To migrate the data:

1. Stop the Bamboo instance that is using the source database.
2. Manually transfer the data.
3. Go to <bamboo-home> and open the bamboo.cfg.xml file.
4. Provide the properties of the new database.
5. Start the Bamboo instance.
