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.

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.

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