Warning
Before carrying out any of the following, always backup your database using your database backup procedures, and test that the backups are good.

Splitting a JIRA instance is easy. Firstly, create a backup file from you current production server, as described in How to backup your data. Import this backup file into your second production machine, as described in How to restore your data. At this point you have two JIRA instances with identical state - projects, users, issues, et al. At this point delete the non-required projects from each server.

Note
This requires two seperate server licenses.
