Importing Backup Procedure

Jira hosting: Server, Data Center

Once you've exported your Scheduled Issues using Export functionality, you can then import the file on any Jira instance.

The Import process overrides add-on configuration and re-creates missing Scheduled Issues (existing Scheduled Issues will be skipped as described in the inline dialog).

Import how-to:

As a Jira administrator press cog icon (1) to access "Add-ons" (2) and head to "Import Scheduled Issues" (3). Under "Browse" (4), please select valid .xml file from a previously made backup.

Once you click the "Import" (3) button, the operation will start. You will be notified when it is completed:
