Creating a backup plan

Login to GitProtect Management Service, open the Plans > Backup tab and click the Add plan button in the top bar.

Select Jira from the list.

Choose the Granular Backup option:

Select the Jira environment you want to include in the backup process and how GitProtect will capture your Jira data:

1. Protect all — protects your entire Jira organization.

2. Select projects — protects only selected projects and its metadata.

3. Set rules — GitProtect will capture data to protect based on the specified rules.

Set up a name for your backup plan.

Click Edit to configure the data that you want to back up. Here, you can also change the default worker, which is the device directly responsible for the backup process of your Jira data.

Select one of the locations assigned to your GitProtect instance as storage.

Customize the scheduler and specify how long your data should be retained.

If necessary, adjust the advanced settings such as encryption, error handling, or bandwidth limits to fit your requirements.

1. Encryption — lets you secure your backup copy with encryption.

2. Compression — lets you compress and reduce copy size.

3. Error Handling — lets you specify how to handle possible backup errors.

4. Exclude Jira Issues — excludes Jira issues (work items) by defined rules that specify which issues should be left out of the backup.

1. Bandwidth Limit — allows you to reduce network usage and limit network speed during backup.

2. Backup Scripts — enables configuring and running pre/post scripts executed during backup.

3. Email Notifications — lets you set up email notifications and its recipients.

4. Deduplication — allows you to reduce your backup size.

5. Task Balancing — balances backup speed and CPU load.

6. Prevent System Sleep — prevents your system from suspending while a backup is in progress.

Review your configuration and click Save to create the backup plan, or Save&Run to start the first backup run immediately.
