      Problem Description

      Generating the backup from the latest release for JIRA Server (6.4.1) encounter the following error when importing to JIRA Cloud:

      The xml data you are trying to import is from JIRA 6.4.1, which is newer than your current version of JIRA and will not work. This data can be successfully imported into JIRA 6.3.12 or later., If JIRA 6.3.12 is not yet available for download, please contact support.
