Atlassian protects the platform
You are responsible for your data

Jira work under a "Shared Responsibility" model. Atlassian manages the site’s uptime, but you are responsible for the data you store inside. Accidental deletions, rogue automation rules, or migration failures - Atlassian won't recover your specific data. BackupLABS ensures you can recover this critical data.

The cloud is not a magic place

Jira (Atlassian):

Terms of Service

“Neither party will have any liability for any loss of use, lost or inaccurate data, lost profits, or costs of delay…”

Atlassian explicitly requires you to perform your own backups

It’s not just our advice—it’s official Atlassian policy. In their Cloud Security Shared Responsibilities whitepaper, Atlassian defines the critical gap between their infrastructure and your responsibility.

Your role: Create backups of your data using the available APIs to reflect the information accessibility that fits your needs.
