Backup

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 selected time-frame (UTC time) 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
