Hi Robin,

I checked the link and i followed the steps and backed up the Jira file system,but i need the steps to move the data from (jira V7.13.1) to V8.1, i want to upgrade it manually instead of using the installer.

is there a way to move the data from the old installation to the new? 

Best Regards,

Mohanad
