Problem Definition

As a user I would like a clear and automated migration path between database types (E.g. From Embedded HSQL to External DB) as the current process requires a few too many manual steps that could be handled through the UI (like in Bitbucket Server)

Suggested Solution

A database migration wizard where the user sets target database connection string. The system will automatically backup the current instance / generate the export and import it to the target database. If successful, user is then prompted to restart Bamboo. The connection string is automatically updated to point to the new target DB for the next start-up.

Optionally, we can choose to tear down the embedded database as part of the process.
