Import failed with:

Caused by: java.io.CharConversionException: Invalid character 0x9d, can only be included in xml 1.1 using character entities (at char #53563968, byte #53564188)

The export has been created with Woodstox 4.0.7 . We should find out if the problem has been fixed in recent versions and upgrade or report the bug upstream.

Workaround for customers on Bamboo version below 3.3.4/3.4:

1. Unpack the failing Bamboo zip (export) file
2. Use this command to clean the illegal symbols from commits.xml:

   tidy -m -xml < /Users/akhachatryan/Atlassian/BambooHome3.2/exports/export_atlassianbamboo_2600_20120323_6/db-export/commits.xml > /Users/akhachatryan/Atlassian/BambooHome3.2/exports/export_atlassianbamboo_2600_20120323_6/db-export/commits1.xml
   

   Note: in the example above,t he commits.xml file had the invalid character. You might have a different XML file containing the invalid character.

3. Remove commits.xml and change the name of commits1.xml to commits.xml.
4. Pack up the files as a zip and re-import into a clean Bamboo-Home and Bamboo Database.
