The Jira configurations clone feature allows you to clone selected Jira configurations from a source site to a new destination site or back to the current site (self site). This process begins by selecting the backup snapshot you wish to use as the source.
How to restore Jira configurations with Revyz App?
Step 1: Access the Restore Card
From the main Admin Dashboard, click the Restore card to begin preparing your recovery plan.
Step 2: Identify Restoration Type
Under the "Configurations management" section, click Restore Jira Configurations to recover items associated with specific spaces.
Step 3: Choose Destination Site
Choose Destination Site – Review the restoration workflow steps and click the dropdown arrow to see available destination site options and select one.
Step 4: Select Configuration State

Step 6: Monitor Job Status
View the Revyz Jobs table where a JIRA CONFIGURATIONS CLONE job is automatically created; wait for it to reach the ACTION REQUIRED status.
Step 7: Review Analysis Completion
Once the analysis status shows "Analysis completed," verify the job type and status before proceeding. With the status set to "Action Required," click Next to begin reviewing the specific configurations for restoration.
If the job is marked as an Error (instead of Action Required):
This error may occur because the incremental backups that were triggered for either of the sites might have failed. To understand why the job is an error, go to the logs. If they are unclear, you can reach out to support.
