Backup for Server will be discontinued starting November 30, 2024

I recently found out that option to create Jira Cloud backup for DC will be discontinued as of Nov 30, 2024.

Exact message states: “Instead, you can use the CSV file import wizard to move your data from Cloud to Data Center. This option supports data such as issue data, users, and project types.”

Since linked article only explains how to import data, I want to confirm that starting next month the only option to export data from Jira Cloud would be Export issues xml, csv, etc. No option to get configuration details but issue data only, correct?

yes, that seams to be the idea.

  • Set up everything manually in the target instance
  • Data transfer via csv or json

but according to

the date was posponed to mid 2025
