Hi Farid,

Copying Old_Controller_install_dir/db/data directory as per steps in docs to new controller_install_dir/db/data path and starting new controller will show all metrics from old controller in new UI , 

It means whatever the data stored till we taken backup of data directory from old controller will sure will be there , if you are referrig to new data post taken backup it will not but till backup time you should see all old metrics and history fine, hope it clarifies.
