Backup and Recovery for Jira Service Management 

Compliance, long-term retention and fast recovery for mission-critical service data

Why back up Jira Service Management? 

Your data is your responsibility

Atlassian operates under a shared responsibility model. It is responsible for the security and availability of the service, but you are responsible for your data, configurations, access, and compliance. Neglecting your responsibility is a business risk. 

Native recovery options are not enough

Atlassian native options aren’t built for full, compliant data protection — limited retention, manual backups, and no granular recovery leave critical service data exposed to deletion, corruption, and recovery gaps when it matters most. 

There is a high risk of a ripple effect 

Today, most JSM customers are on-premises, but Atlassian is going cloud-only. Current customers will have to migrate by March 2029 at the latest. That means customers will need to adapt their backup and recovery strategy as they migrate to avoid disruption.

Why choose Keepit for Jira Service Management?  

Awarded for its broad SaaS coverage, impenetrable architecture, and ease-of-use, Keepit ensures that your Jira Service Management data is backed up and swiftly recoverable at all times, minimizing the impact of data loss and the burden of recovery on your teams. 

Where will my data be stored?

Your data will be securely stored in Keepit’s independent cloud. We run our own data centers, operate on our own hardware, and our own people manage the infrastructure. 

To ensure data sovereignty, we have seven data center regions in: 

  • Americas: Washington D.C., USA and Toronto, Canada 
  • Europe: London, United Kingdom and Zurich, Switzerland 
  • EU: Copenhagen, Denmark, and Frankfurt, Germany 
  • Asia-Pacific: Sydney, Australia 

Once a customer chooses a Keepit region for backup, their data never leaves that region. Not only does Keepit guarantee that backup data will always stay in that region, but no processes exist that could even transfer backup data out of that region (aside from customer-initiated restores and downloads, of course). Should systems in a region ever need to be moved out of that jurisdiction, Keepit will negotiate the move with all affected customers prior to execution.
