How to restore a project in bucket

[Chris Russell]

I have a new instance of bucket and want to restore a project that was in the old instance. I have the entire bitbucket home directory from the old project, including /shared/data. Is it possible to restore the project using data from the old bitbucket home directory?

Hi Chris, restoring a project is not possible but you could restore the repos that belong to that project by following the steps at Restore a deleted repository for Bitbucket Server. Please note that the previous method only preserves Git history, repository details (including permissions, settings and hooks), pull requests (including their transition and comments) will not be restored.

Alternatively, you can restore the whole instance and then delete the repos you don't want to keep, this will preserve all the data for the repos. 

Lastly, there's a Feature request to allow the import of single repos/projects keeping all their history, you can vote for it at BSERV-4586.

Let us know if you have any questions!
