Jira backing up on dashboard.

Hi Support,

I need to run a backup of all tickets to my local PC from the dashboard, is this something possible? if so, how do I do that? 

Thanks

Hi @Sri Krish,

Do you mean from UI? if yes, then first you should have the System Administrator access of jira.

In Import & Export section you will find a Backup system.

Just mentioned file name and click on the Backup button. 

Please have a look at this article for more information.

Thank you for your prompt reply. It seems like I do not have admin access, hence why I'm seeing "settings cog" on my dashboard. 

Thanks

Hi @Yogesh Mude,

I got now admin access, i can see 2 options under backup manager. 

1. create backup for cloud

2. Create backup for server 

I really need to automate this process to a server so that we know it backing up every week. 

Hope that make sense?

Hi @Sri Krish

Please find the Atlassian documentation to make automate the backup of jira.

Hi @Yogesh Mude

Thank you! I managed to complete first 2 steps from the documentation. I can't see any fields under "Add Service".

Hi @Sri Krish,

You can back up your entire instance by exporting the entire system. Similar question solved on the community. The export documentation can be found here.

To back up a few tickets you could run a search query, then choose the export option and choose your type of export, e.g. XML, Word, etc. 

Hope this helps
