Chapter 10. Migrating Data into JIRA
Overview
This chapter describes how data is migrated into JIRA from other
systems, along with suggestions for how to estimate the effort involved in
a migration. The short answer is more than is usually
expected.
The source system
is the system where the data
currently is (e.g., Bugzilla, Rally, or even another instance of JIRA). The
words migration
and import

interchangeably. If there is a difference, JIRA has import
tools, but the whole process is called
a migration.
A merge
is just a
migration that leaves existing data unchanged.
Tip
New JIRA administrators sometimes ask Can I synchronize the
source system and JIRA, so I don’t have to do a single large export and
import?
Synchronization is a lot more work since it has to
handle configurations in both systems changing over time. Instead, I
recommend migrating the data once and then making the source system
available in a read-only mode for a period after the migration to make
testing easier. It’s also an incentive to move everyone onto a single
system together.
Migrating Data from JIRA to JIRA

says, restoring a project from a backup is not a trivial
task.
