What is a backup policy

New Backup and Restore Experience Open Beta: Enrolment Closed
New enrolment is now closed. Customers who have already used the feature in the open beta will continue to have access until general availability.

Backup and restore isn’t available in the Atlassian Government environment.

You can no longer store backups in Amazon S3 storage. Customers who've used S3 storage in the past can still use it.

A backup policy is a set of rules that you define to protect your Atlassian data. This includes:

  • What app to back up

  • What data to back up

  • When and how often to run a backup

How do backup policies work

When you create a backup policy, you can:

  • assign an app to back up

  • select entities

  • set a schedule

All backups are stored in Atlassian storage, and can be restored within 14 days.

You can run backups once or schedule daily or weekly. We provide you with a time slot when your backups will run. Because of concurrency limitations, you can’t select a time of your choice.
