Backup management

Learn how to manage Jira backups with the GitProtect.io for Jira app.

The GitProtect.io for Jira app acts as a connector between Jira and GitProtect. Most backup operations are performed through the GitProtect Management Service, while the Jira interface supports basic actions.

Application page in Jira

In the application main page, you can view the number of secured projects (spaces), the service and storage region, the backup status, and the time of the last and upcoming backup.

In the GitProtect.io app view in Jira (Apps > Your apps > GitProtect.io) you can use the following options:

Backup:

1. Edit — allows you to configure the basic backup schedule. You can change only the plan execution time, including the days of the week and the hour.

2. Backup now — triggers a manual backup. This option starts a Jira backup job using the current backup plan settings, or the default settings if the backup plan is not yet configured.

3. More features — redirects and logs you in to the GitProtect Management Service.

Settings:

• In the Settings tab, you can update your Jira credentials (personal access token) for GitProtect.

GitProtect Management Service

To open the Management Service, click the More features button in the top-right corner of the GitProtect.io app’s main page in Jira. In the pop-up that appears, select Continue to be automatically redirected and logged in to your GitProtect service instance.
