Jira Backup
Once the Revyz Backup & Restore app has been installed in your site, data from your Jira cloud site is automatically backed-up every 24 hours into the secure Revyz cloud data store. The Revyz cloud is built on AWS’s public cloud infrastructure.

Backup - salient points
Data backup frequency
The first backup occurs automatically as soon as the app is installed into your Jira cloud site, no additional action is needed.
The first backup may take significant amount of time, depending on the number of issues that exist in your site along with the volume of attachment data.
Subsequent backups are automatically triggered at 12:00 AM UTC following the completion of the first backup.
Due to the incremental nature of the backup system, subsequent backups after the first backup are significantly faster as only data that has changed is backed-up
