Existing installation directory:

Back up JIRA home directory
The upgrade process will automatically back up your JIRA installation
directory. You can also choose to back up your existing JIRA home directory.
Both directories are backed up as zip archive files in their respective
parent directory locations.
We strongly recommend choosing this option in the unlikely event that you
experience problems with the upgrade and may require these backups to
restore your existing JIRA installation.
If you have many attachments in your JIRA home directory, the zip archive of
this directory may consume a significant amount of disk space.

Upgrade checklist
Complete these steps to have a smooth upgrade experience. If you need more
details, see
https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/jadm-docs-080/Preparing+for+the+upgrade.
1. Run a Jira health check
Run a Jira health check to verify that you're ready to upgrade. Make sure
that checks related to the license and database have passed, but you can
also fix other detected problems.
2. Check app compatibility
Make sure your apps are compatible with the Jira version you're upgrading
to. Disable all incompatible apps, so they don't affect your upgrade.
3. Back up the database
Back up the Jira database using your database's native backup tools.
