In this article, you will learn how to recover your Jira organization using the disaster recovery option.
Get into the restore view using the following method:
Open the Jira tab (DevOps > Jira), then click the Restore button next to the organization whose backup you want to restore.
Next, select the disaster recovery backup plan from which you want to restore data.
Choose the backup version from all the backups that have already been performed — select the desired date and click the Restore > Disaster recovery.
Select the available destination for the restore process from the list:
If the restoration destination is a device, you must specify the recovery path. If you want to change the default worker responsible for handling the restore, make sure to do it before selecting the backup copy to restore.
If the restoration destination is Jira, you can change the default worker in the next aside. In
After defining all parameters, click the Restore button to begin the recovery process. You can monitor its status in the Tasks tab.
When you restore a backup to the original organization (the source organization from which it was created) using the disaster recovery method, the GitProtect.io for Jira application is removed from your Jira site and must be reinstalled afterward.
To add the GitProtect app to your Jira site again, go to Apps > Explore more apps and search for GitProtect.io for Jira. On the app page in Atlassian Marketplace, click Try it free and follow the on-screen instructions. The process is the same as when you added the app for the first time, except you do not need to provide a personal access token because GitProtect is already integrated with your Jira account.
Once the app is reinstalled, you can view your backup statistics and use all GitProtect.io for Jira app features.
