Scheduled automated backup?

[David Thomson]

Is it possible to get a daily automated backup sent to a specified email, at midnight, say?

Hello @David Thomson ,

Atlassian provides backups, though, they are manual imports and exports every 24 hours or 48 hours including attachments. 

If you are interested in automated backups, take a look at a third-party backup tool - GitProtect. It's a comprehensive backup & Disaster Recovery software for Jira Software, Jira Service Management, and Jira Work Management. With the solution, you can easily set up your backup plan and get automated backups to the preferable storage - Cloud or local.

As for notifications, you can set up to get them directly to your email. Moreover, GitProtect provides with cntral management console where you can easily contol and manage backup and restore performance. 

You can learn more about the backup solution on Atlassian Marketplace - GitProtect Backups for Jira

Hope, my answer will be useful,

Thanks,

Daria

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Possible (although not daily), yes, useful, probably not.

You could set something up that triggers Jira to create a downloadable backup, and downloads it, and then tries to send it somewhere, but:

• You can only run the backup export every other day
• You can not automate this inside Jira, it needs to be automated
• You are going to run into size limits on the email very quickly.  Backups of anything with more than a handful of users and issues are going to be big

I strongly recommend that you look at one of the backup apps in the marketplace, like Revyz or Rewind, instead of trying to do this yourself (and forget email, it's not suitable for doing backups, at best, it is just for telling you if they backup worked or not)

Hi @David Thomson 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

I am part of Revyz, our apps in the Atlassian marketplace, help Atlassian Cloud customers with data backup & granularly restore their data.

If you are thinking of using the backup & restore functionality offered within Jira, then there is no automated backup with email notification functionality available - You can check out my resent response here on the options you have.

Thanks
