Set up the CLI

Before you can use the backup and restore commands with cloud storage, you need to set up the CLI.

This is a different CLI (jar) to the one you may have set up previously for the backup and restore tool with local storage.

Download and set up the cloud storage CLI

The CLI requires Java 11 to run. Download JRE 11 and install it before you begin.

During the beta, we only provide a CLI jar, which is suitable for all operating systems. This CLI jar was tested with AdoptOpenJDK 11 and MacOS.

To set up the CLI:

Download the Backup and Restore Cloud Storage CLI from Google drive. You’ll only be able to access this drive if you are participating in the early access program. Download the file from our Google drive
Prepare your firewall. To create a backup, the CLI needs to connect to a specific set of Atlassian domains. If these are blocked by a firewall or reverse proxy, the backup can fail. Before you begin a backup, make sure security rules do not block these domains:
- https://api.media.atlassian.com/
- https://api.atlassian.com/
- https://migration.atlassian.com/
- https://api-private.atlassian.com/
- https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/
- https://*.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com - If a wildcard is not allowed, make sure to add the following URLs:
  - https://rps--prod-west2--migration-catalogue--migration-storage.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/
  - https://rps--prod-west2--migration-catalogue--migration-storage-v2.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/
  - https://rps--prod-west2--migration-orchestrator--task-data-repository.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/

In addition, make sure that the URL of your Confluence or Jira is not blocked.
