Use this interactive demo to learn how to create a cloud backup of your Jira projects.

Quick summary

Backing up your Jira data ensures your project information is protected against data loss by using the built-in Backup Manager to create a cloud export directly from Jira Admin Settings.


Steps

  1. On the Jira home page, go to the top-right corner and click the Settings button.
  2. Choose System from the list of options under Jira Admin Settings.
  3. In the left-hand panel, click Backup Manager.
  4. Scroll down to the Back Up for Cloud section and click Create Backup for Cloud.
  5. All Jira project data (spaces) will be backed up successfully.

📌 Why this matters

Jira's built-in Backup Manager gives administrators a reliable way to create cloud exports of all project data, protecting teams from accidental data loss or migration issues. Regularly backing up Jira data is a critical best practice for any organization relying on Jira for project tracking and sprint management. The streamlined backup process — accessible directly through Jira Admin Settings — requires no third-party tools, making data protection fast and straightforward. This capability is essential for compliance, disaster recovery, and ensuring business continuity across software development teams.
