Switching databases

JIRA data can be migrated between databases. To do this:
- Create an export of your data as an XML backup.
-
Alter your JIRA instance to use the new database, following the database-specific steps described in the previous section. When restarted, you
should see the JIRA setup screen, indicating a blank database.
-
On the setup page, click Import your existing data, and restore your data from the XML backup.
Once installed, make sure the index, attachment and backup paths are correct. In particular, if you are running more than one JIRA instance on the
same server, ensure that each instance uses different paths.
