Backup Settings

About this Page

This page is about Backup Settings, the central control panel for configuring all aspects of your backup strategy. It's where you define what data to back up, set your backup schedule, and manage all necessary API credentials for Jira and associated apps.

What is the Use Case?

Use this page for the initial setup of your backup plan and for ongoing maintenance. This includes adding your API tokens, enabling/disabling backups, deciding which projects to include, and enabling backups for apps like Xray and Tempo.

Note:

Check the product tags on the respective pages to see which features are relevant to your product.

1. General settings

This is the main control panel for your backup jobs. Here, you can enable or disable backups, set the daily backup window, and define your retention policy (how long to keep backups). It also includes settings for the malware scanner and rules for deleting old data.

2. Projects inclusion & exclusion

This section provides granular control over your backup scope. You can specify exactly which projects you want to include in the backup job or, alternatively, which projects to exclude. This is useful for saving storage by skipping test, archived, or non-critical projects.

3. Atlassian API token

This card is for managing the app's master authentication. You must store a valid Atlassian API token here to grant the Revyz app the necessary permissions to access and back up your Jira Cloud instance data.

4. Xray credentials

This card is for backing up the Xray Test Management app. By entering your Xray credentials here, you authorize the Revyz app to also back up your specialized test data, such as test cases, test plans, and execution results.

5. Tempo plugin API token

This setting is for users of the Tempo plugin. Storing your Tempo API token here allows the Revyz app to access and back up your critical Tempo data, such as timesheet, account, and team configurations.
