# Backup management

#### 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

{% hint style="info" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

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

In the **GitProtect Management Service**, you can fully manage your **Jira** backups. This includes setting up backup plans, managing storage, monitoring running tasks, checking logs, adding additional accounts, configuring notifications, and using all **GitProtect** features.

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.
