Creating a backup plan

Open the Backup tab (Plans > Backup) and click the + Add plan button in the top bar.

Select Jira from the list.

Select the Jira environment you want to include in the backup and how Xopero ONE will capture the Jira data:

1. Protect all: protects the entire Jira organization.

2. Select projects: protects only selected spaces (projects) and their metadata.

3. Set rules: captures data to protect based on the specified rules:

   1. A granular Jira backup based on rules defined by the space (project) name behaves the same way as repositories in Git-type projects. For example, the rule git will match only the space with the exact name git. To create name-based rules, you can use the following wildcards:

      • * represents any number of characters. For example, the rule *git* will match spaces with names such as my-git-1, git, git-100, and similar.

      • ? represents a single character. For example, the rule git-300? will match spaces with names such as git-3001, git-3002, and git-300m.

Set up a name for your backup plan.

In Data to protect section, click Edit to configure the data that you want to back up. Here, you can also change the default backup agent (worker), which is directly responsible for backing up your Jira data.

Select one of the data stores assigned to your Xopero ONE instance to use as the backup storage.

Customize the scheduler and specify the retention period for your data.

Adjust the advanced settings, such as encryption, error handling, or bandwidth limits, to meet your organization's requirements.

1. Encryption: lets you secure your backup copy with encryption.

2. Compression: lets you compress and reduce copy size.

3. Deduplication: allows you to reduce the backup size.

4. Error handling: allows you to specify how to handle potential backup operation errors. Includes an option to skip corrupted issue attachments during backup.

1. Exclude Jira issues: excludes Jira issues (work items) from backup according to defined rules.

1. Bandwidth limit: allows you to reduce network usage and limit network speed during backup.

2. Backup scripts: enables configuring pre/post scripts executed during backup.

3. Task balancing: balances backup speed and CPU load.

4. Prevent system sleep: prevents your system from suspending while a backup is in progress.

5. Email notifications: lets you set up email notifications and its recipients.

Review your configuration and click Save to create the backup plan, or Save&Run to start the first backup run immediately.
