  • The disabled option prevents any Jira Cloud backup from taking place.

Enabled

  • The enabled option allows a Jira Cloud backup to occur based on a default “daily” interval.

  • There’s no attachment added to the backed-up data.

Each time you alter this option, it uses the current date and time to schedule the next interval.

Enabled w/Attachments

  • The enabled with attachments option allows a Jira Cloud backup with attachment data.

  • The attachments can only be generated once every 48 hours. Therefore, there’s no daily option available

  • Each time you alter this option, it uses the current date and time for the next interval.

 

Note

  • If you have configured an “Every-2days”, “Weekly”, “Bi-weekly” or “Monthly” XML backup interval, altering this configuration again will shift the interval that will be used for backup. In all situations, the first backup is usually triggered before the next interval is scheduled.

  • Always use caution if changing this particular configuration, as the change might affect any pre-arranged timeline for routine backup.
