# Backup Architecture details

* we use restic to produce small & encrypted backups
* backup is scheduled at `schedule: "10 23 * * *"`
* Jira stores files on `/var/jira`, these files are backuped. If you create a jira xml backup located in /var/jira this file will also be backed up.
* postgres db is backed up as pgdump
