Introducing BackupLABS Jira Cloud Backup

From BackupLABS

BackupLABS launches its new Jira Backup Service. This service allows to securely backup and restore critical data within Atlassian Jira Cloud for continuity and data integrity.

Building on our current backup solution for Atlassian Trello and other SaaS applications, including GitHub, GitLab, and Notion, Jira Backup marks an expansion of firm’s offerings.

Jira is a vital tool for many organisations. It stores issue details, descriptions, attachments, and real-time project statuses, keeping teams aligned and projects on track. But unexpected events like accidental deletions or cyberattacks can put this valuable data at risk.

The Jira Backup Service provides a reliable automated solution to protect your valuable Jira data. It performs regular backups, creating a secure safety net in case of any unexpected incidents. Atlassian also recommend that customers perform regular backups of their own data in Jira Cloud:

Speaking about BackupLABS’ new service, Rob Stevenson, CEO, said: “Our team is thrilled to introduce the Jira Backup Service… As data security concerns continue to grow, businesses require robust solutions to protect their valuable information. We proudly offer a comprehensive backup service prioritising data integrity and user convenience.”

Key features of Jira Backup include:

256-bit AES encryption for data confidentiality
Jira Backup employs encryption during transfer and 256-bit AES encryption at rest to keep user data secure and confidential.

This high-level encryption shields your backup Jira project data from unauthorised access and potential security breaches.

As Stevenson explains: “We’re committed to providing businesses of all sizes with the tools they need to safeguard their critical data effectively… With our Jira Backup, organisations can confidently mitigate risks and focus on achieving their business objectives.”

Supporting Shared Responsibility Model
When it comes to protecting Jira data, Atlassian is responsible for the security, compliance, and reliability of its Jira applications, systems, and hosting environment.

It guarantees the security of the Jira platform itself. But under the Shared Responsibility Model, users are responsible for managing their own data within Jira, including organising and maintaining it effectively. Atlassian are very clear who is responsible for creating backups:

Thankfully, BackupLABS can enhance and extend Jira’s built-in backup capabilities by offering additional features, automation, and more advanced options for securing and safeguarding data.

By securely backing up critical Jira data – including projects, boards, issues, sprints, requests, and workflows – it keeps valuable data safe from permanent loss at all times.

Why backup Jira Cloud?

• Data protection: Backups ensure that your Jira Cloud instance’s data, including issues, projects, workflows, and configurations, are safely preserved. In the event of data loss due to accidental deletion, corruption, or system failure, backups allow you to restore your data to a previous state.

• DR: Regular backups provide a vital component of your DR strategy, allowing you to quickly recover your Jira instance and resume operations with minimal disruption.
