    Description

      Upgrading or migrating JIRA to a different location, jira.path.backup and jira.path.attachments are not updated in System Info upon restoring backup.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Install JIRA 6.2.0 EAP into Jira620Eap folder
        • Create an XML backup of this instance
      2. Install JIRA 6.2.1 into Jira621 folder
        • Restore Jira620Eap backup into this instance
        • Check System Info - the mentioned paths still point to Jira620Eap:
        • Create an XML backup of this instance
      3. Install JIRA 6.2.5 into Jira625 folder
        • Restore Jira621 backup into this instance
        • Check System Info - the mentioned paths still point to Jira620Eap

      It's witnessed that:

      • the mentioned paths always point to the original location
      • however, still in System Info, under File Paths, the paths show correctly:

      Despite the incorrect path indications, JIRA functions properly and uses the correct physical paths

      This might have a side-effect on JIRA Title when creating application links, where the old title is referred to:
