# Granular recovery

#### Jira granular recovery enables you to restore selected Jira items such as issues, attachments, or configuration elements, giving you precise control over what is brought back without affecting the rest of your space data.

***

## Recovery process

{% hint style="info" %}
When restoring **Jira automation rules** associated with an **assets** schema (i.e., during a **granular restore** to another organization or a **disaster recovery** restore where the target organization already contains **assets**), a different **assets** schema may be attached to the restored rule component. This behavior is the same as when rules are manually imported through the **Jira** UI.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Connections to external services (i.e., **Google Drive**) are <mark style="color:red;">**not restored**</mark> in automation components when restoring data in disaster recovery mode or to another organization.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Get into the restore view using the following method:

1. Open the **Jira** tab (**DevOps** > **Jira**), then click the **Restore** button next to the organization whose backup you want to restore.

{% hint style="success" %}
You can also use the **Explore** button to restore your data.
{% endhint %}
