Cloning an Entire Site to Another Site

Pre-Migration Steps Required for Destination Site - Before migrating your entire site, certain preparatory steps need to be completed on the destination site to ensure a smooth and successful migration. These steps include:

• Setting Up Required Configurations – Ensure that necessary user roles, permissions, and configurations are in place.

  • Users - Add all the users same as source site.

  • Groups - Add all the groups same as source site.

  • Project roles - Add all project roles same as source site.

  • Subtask - Sub task should be enabled.

  • Unassigned issues - Allow all unassigned issues to true from system settings.

  • Check the hierarchy of issue types.
    

• Installing Required Apps & Dependencies – If third-party apps are involved, they need to be installed and configured before data migration.

  • Plugins - Add Atlassian plugins ( Tempo, Scriptrunner, JWME etc) on destination site.
    

• Creating a Backup of Existing Data – We recommend taking a full backup of the destination site to avoid any potential data loss.

  Use cases
  

• Restore bulk issues or Granular restore of issues on another site- Configuration of source and destination project should be same.

• Clone all the Configurations on another site

  • Clone all configurations with the help of Jira configuration clone feature.

Once these steps are completed, you can proceed with the full site migration.
