# GitProtect.io for Jira

#### Registering for GitProtect through the Atlassian Marketplace allows you to quickly connect your Jira instance to a dedicated GitProtect service for seamless backup and management.

***

## General information

The **GitProtect.io for Jira** application was built on the **Atlassian Forge** developer platform. The application acts as a connector between **Jira** and **GitProtect** — during registration, each **GitProtect.io for Jira** app is linked to a single **GitProtect** service instance, which is created at the moment the app is installed on your **Jira** site.

{% hint style="info" %}
Registering your **Jira** site with **GitProtect** via the **Atlassian Marketplace** automatically starts a free trial — you can change your subscription model using the [Atlassian Administration](https://admin.atlassian.com/) panel.
{% endhint %}

Most backup operations are managed through the **GitProtect Management Service**, while the **Jira** interface allows basic actions like viewing the latest backup status, adjusting the backup schedule, and starting the backup process.

## Post-registration actions

In the **GitProtect.io** app view in **Jira** you can change the plan execution time, manually trigger a backup job, and check your backup status.

To fully manage your **Jira** backups—including setting up backup plans, managing storage, monitoring running tasks, reviewing logs, adding additional accounts, configuring notifications, and using all **GitProtect** features—log in to the **GitProtect Management Service** using the **More features** button in the top-right corner of the app page.

Accessing the **Management Service** does not require additional credentials. You are automatically logged in through the **GitProtect** integration with **Jira**.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can learn more about using the **GitProtect.io for Jira** app in [this section](/management/marketplace/atlassian-marketplace.md).
