Once the Revyz Data Manager app has been installed in your site, data from your Jira cloud site is automatically backed-up on every Monday,Wednesday & Friday 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 when select run immediate Jira configuration backup while installing the app into your Jira cloud site, no additional action is needed.
- The first backup may take significant amount of time, depending on the number of configurations that exist in your site
Subsequent backups are automatically triggered at 12:00 AM UTC on each Monday, Wednesday & Friday following the completion of the first backup.
