How to schedule regular backup Jira OnDemand

[was aeronaves]

I want from our servers to daily start a backup of our Jira OnDemand instance by scheduling a script that would run from cron.

I'm thinking about using curl to (a) start the backup and; (b) get the file generated.

Question: Is there a REST API to generate the backup? If not, can I use curl to simulate a browser user pressing the "Create Backup" button in the admin page?

We have a script available here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ONDEMANDKB/Automatic+backups+for+JIRA+OnDemand

Is there a simlar page? The link above does not work.  I am looking to make daily backups of my Jira and Confluence.
