Backup Architecture details

• we use restic to produce small & encrypted backups
• backup is scheduled at schedule: "10 23 * * *"
• Jira stores files on /var/jira/export, these files are backuped. By default jira produces two exports per day.
• As jira provides a full xml export postgres is not needed.

Manual init the restic repository for the first time

1. apply backup-and-restore pod:
   kubectl scale deployment backup-restore --replicas=1
2. exec into pod and execute restore pod (press tab to get your exact pod name)
   kubectl exec -it backup-restore-... -- /usr/local/bin/init.sh
3. remove backup-and-restore pod:
   kubectl scale deployment backup-restore --replicas=0

Manual backup the restic repository for the first time

1.Create a jira export:
Jira > Settings > System -> Backup system

1. Choose a filename backup-filename.zip. Your file will be stored to /var/backup/export.
2. apply backup-and-restore pod:
   kubectl scale deployment backup-restore --replicas=1
3. exec into pod and execute restore pod (press tab to get your exact pod name)
   kubectl exec -it backup-restore-... -- /usr/local/bin/backup.sh
4. remove backup-and-restore pod:

Manual restore

   1. Import one of Jira exportet backups:
      Jira > Settings > System > Restore System
