Configuring automatic database backups
The XML backup includes all data in the database. However, it doesn’t include your attachments directory, the Jira [shared] home directory, or Jira application installation directory, which are stored in the file system.
You can also perform XML backups manually. Learn more about backing up data
For large Jira installations and regular backups in production, we strongly recommend that you use native database backup tools instead of Jira's XML backup service.
ネイティブのデータベース バックアップ ツールでは、Jira が動作中であっても、整合性と信頼性がはるかに高いデータの保存 (と復元) の手段が提供されます。 Jira を使用している場合、バックアップ処理中にデータベースが更新される可能性があるため、XML バックアップの整合性は保証されません。整合性がない XML バックアップが生成されても、Jira アプリによる警告やエラー メッセージの報告は行われません。このようなバックアップは復元処理中に失敗します。
Add an automatic database backup service
To create a new database backup service or restore the default one if it’s been removed:
In the upper-right corner of the screen, select Administration > System.
In the side panel, under Advanced, select Services.
In the Add Service section, enter a descriptive, unique Name for the backup service.
Under the Class field, select Built-in services > Backup service.
Configure a Schedule and Interval by selecting one of the following options:
Daily—the service will run once or multiple times per day based on the set Interval.
Days per week—the service will run once or multiple times per day on specific days of the week based on the set Interval.
Days per month—the service will run at a specific time on a specific day of the month based on the set Interval.
Advanced—allows you to enter a custom cron expression for finer control over the schedule.
Select Add service.
On the Edit service page, save the backup service configuration by selecting Update.
結果
- For every successful backup, Jira will save a zipped XML backup to
<jira-home>/export. - If a scheduled backup fails for any reason, the zipped XML backup file will be saved to the
<jira-home>/export/corrupteddirectory together with a text file containing the failure log. This file will have the same name as the backup file with the.failure.txtextension. Jira will create thecorrupteddirectory for you when needed.
Update the configuration of an existing backup service
To change the schedule and interval settings of a configured backup service:
- In the upper-right corner of the screen, select Administration > System.
- In the side panel, under Advanced, select Services.
- In the list of services, find the backup service whose settings you want to update, and select Update.
- Optionally, on the Edit service page, enter a custom simple Date format.
- Update the Schedule and Interval by selecting one of the following options:
- Daily—the service will run once or multiple times per day based on the set Interval.
- Days per week—the service will run once or multiple times per day on specific days of the week based on the set Interval.
- Days per month—the service will run at a specific time on a specific day of the month based on the set Interval.
- Advanced—allows you to enter a custom cron expression for finer control over the schedule.
- Select Update to save the backup service configuration.
結果
The updated backup service will now run according to the new schedule.
Disable automatic database backups
If you don't want to use the automatic database backup mechanism built into Jira, you can disable it by removing the associated service.
To restore the service at a later time, simply configure a new one.
To disable the automatic database backup service:
- In the upper-right corner of the screen, select Administration > System.
- In the side panel, under Advanced, select Services.
- In the list of services, find the backup service that you want to disable, and select Delete.
結果
Jira will no longer take automatic XML snapshots of database contents.
