We will suggest to perform the following steps (for the migration in same server):

  1. Backup the JIRA Home Directory (include plugins, attachments, and data).
  2. Backup the Data:
    1. Export an XML backup via the JIRA Backup UI.
    2. Backup the database.
  3. Shutdown JIRA WAR.
  4. Install a new JIRA Bin on your server.
  5. Run the JIRA Configuration Tool.
  6. Configure JIRA to use the backup JIRA Home Directory.
  7. Configure JIRA to use the current database.
  8. Start JIRA.

If you plan to do the migration on another server, please refer to our Migrating JIRA to Another Server article.

(info) We recommend to test these changes in a Staging Environment.
