What data is backed up and restored
Backup and restore isn’t available in the Atlassian Government environment.
Using Amazon S3 for storing backups is no longer available, except for customers who've used it in the past.
Refer to this page to understand the list of supported entities supported by Atlassian Backup and Restore. Only items included in the tables below will be backed up and restored.
✅ Data that’s backed up

✅ Assets
After unit activation, Assets is treated as a unit-scoped platform app. If multiple sites in the unit have Assets, the backup includes only the Assets linked to the app being backed up. Important: While Assets is always included in backups, its restore behavior depends on your plan and whether units are activated. On Premium with units activated, Assets is excluded from restores by default. On Enterprise with units activated, Assets is restored normally into a separate, empty destination unit. Learn more about Assets restore behavior on the Restore page. | ❌ Assets Smartlinks List View (Confluence) ❌ Data Manager ❌ Import History ❌ Services Schema |
