Restoring structure from backup brings back the structures, synchronizers, views and other data created at the moment of backup.
Restoring structure will not affect issues in any way or restore them. The issues that make up the hierarchy should already exist in JIRA. If you do full restore, then you need to run the standard JIRA data restore first - see Structure Backup, Restore and Migration. |
The issues and other items in the structures are identified by their internal numeric ID. If you have transferred issues via JIRA's Project Import, issue IDs have changed and so you need to use Structure Migration. |
Use Restore Structure when:
To restore the structure from backup:
After the structure has been restored, open Structure | Manage Structure page to see if the structures are there.
You also can restore structure data from backup files made with the earlier versions of the Structure plugin, including Structure 2. |
