Split a YouTrack Installation
You can split one YouTrack installation into two or more separate installations by starting each new installation from a copy of the original database. After each installation is available, delete the projects that don't belong there.
This approach preserves more data than importing selected projects from one YouTrack installation to another. It keeps users, groups, articles, agile boards, dashboards, workflows, and other system-level settings in each copy of the installation. A YouTrack to YouTrack import is better suited for moving a limited number of projects into an existing installation.
Split a YouTrack Cloud Instance
You don't have direct access to the database for a YouTrack Cloud instance. To split a Cloud instance, submit a support request. The YouTrack support team can copy the database from your current Cloud instance to another Cloud instance.
To split a YouTrack Cloud instance:
Create or identify the additional Cloud instances that should contain data from the original instance.
Contact YouTrack support and ask to copy the database from the original Cloud instance to each target Cloud instance.
After support confirms that the database has been copied, verify that users, projects, articles, agile boards, workflows, and integrations are available in each target instance.
In each instance, delete the projects that should only remain in another instance. For instructions, see Delete a Project.
Review global settings, integrations, notification settings, and permissions in each instance and update them to match the purpose of the new installation.
