Upgrade notes
New location of the backup export directory
As of Jira Software 9.15.0, the default backup export directory has been changed from <jira-home-dir>/export to <jira-home-dir>/export/backups, where <jira-home-dir> is your Jira [shared] home directory. The export directory is now a general purpose directory used by data pipelines and support zips.
