Need a method to download jira cloud backup to my linux server

[durga_panda]

Hi All

I want to download jira cloud backup (which i created for server) and want to download it to a linux server.

I tried 
curl -O --user my.name@domain.com:MY_API_TOKEN https://my.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/export/download/?fileId=xxxxxxx 

even tried replacing wget with CURL but not working.

The url i copied from the download link, but it is not working

I have very limited knowledge on this so need some expert guidance.

There's a script for downloading backups from Cloud:

https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/automatic-cloud-backup/src/master/Jira-backup.sh

The curl call they're using is:

curl -s -L -u ${EMAIL}:${API_TOKEN} -X GET "https://${HOSTNAME}/plugins/servlet/${FILE_NAME}" -o "$DOWNLOAD_FOLDER/JIRA-backup-${TODAY}.zip"

I tested it and the -s (silent) isn't required, nor is the -X GET (by default curl does a GET).

The -L (location) flag is important because it makes sure curl follows redirection. This is required because the download link actually sends you to a different endpoint to get the actual file.

You can use -O, but in this example -o allows you to name the backup file something besides "?fileId=a1234567-1234-1234-1234-dad90e3db603"

The other thing is that your example had my.atlassian.net but it needs to be your HOSTNAME.atlassian.net.
