In this article, you will learn how to sign up for a free GitProtect trial through the Atlassian Marketplace.
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.
To register a GitProtect account and connect it to Jira, you must have a personal access token (PAT).
Log in to your Atlassian account and go to the Atlassian Marketplace (https://marketplace.atlassian.com).
Type gitprotect in the search box and press Enter.
Find the GitProtect.io for Jira tile in the search results and click it.
On the application page, click the Try it free button in the top-right corner.
Select the site where GitProtect will be installed and click Review in the bottom-right corner.
Review your configuration settings and click the Start free trial button.
Atlassian will add the GitProtect app to your selected Jira site.
When the GitProtect app is successfully added to your Jira site, a notification pop-up will appear. Select Configure to open the app view page.
Wait for the installation to complete.
Another pop-up will appear. Enter your personal access token (Jira API key) and click Save to proceed.
After the installation is complete, you will see a confirmation message. Click Not now to continue to the GitProtect app main page, or select Run Plan to start your first backup using the default settings.
Your GitProtect registration and deployment are now complete. Proceed to the Post-registration actions section to learn about app features and how to create and manage your Jira backups.
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.
