Jira Backup & Restore

Your Jira Cloud Backup:
Protected & Secured

To back up Jira Cloud you run an automated third-party backup that copies your projects daily and restores them on demand. BackupLABS covers projects and boards, sprints, issues and attachments. Restores go straight back into your account. You also get the evidence trail SOC2 and ISO 27001 reviews ask for.

Atlassian protects its app and its infrastructure. The data inside is yours.

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 notNot 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.

Group 170

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

FAQ

For a full list of what Jira metadata we currently support, visit here. We monitor API changes as they allow so we can improve what we backup and support.
BackupLABS backs up supported Jira project data, including associated issues and board information available through the Jira integration. The exact content included depends on the data supported by BackupLABS and accessible through Jira's API.
Yes, we support backup to your own external storage. We currently support: Dropbox, Google Drive and Amazon S3 buckets. We will backup your data to the BackupLABS platform, but your backups will also appear in your own external cloud storage of choice as a zip file.
You are welcome to free trial any SaaS app, at any time.
BackupLABS does not support this. You can only backup items from your Jira account.
It’s on our roadmap for early 2024.
Backups run automatically every 24 hours. You can also create an on-demand backup whenever you need an additional recovery point.
You can choose to delete your backups individually, in bulk or all of them.
Archived ZIP files are available for each individual backup.
On the Essential plan there is a 30 day retention and on the Pro plan it is 90 days.
Changes to your Jira projects or issues do not alter backups that have already been created. You can use an available earlier backup to recover supported data from a previous point in time, subject to your plan's retention period.
We do not offer granular restoring and adopt a simple and easy to use approach of restoring the item entirely.
No. BackupLABS restores supported Jira data as a separate instance rather than overwriting your existing issues. This allows you to review the recovered content before making further changes.
If the deleted project is included in an available BackupLABS backup, you can recover supported data by downloading the ZIP archive or using the available restore functionality. Recovery depends on your backup history and retention period.
