Cloud Migration Without Data Loss: How Twinit Makes Jira Assets Migration Safe, Fast, and Reliable

[#1]

The shift to cloud infrastructure is accelerating. Organizations worldwide are moving their systems from on-premise environments to the cloud to gain scalability, security, and operational efficiency.

For companies using Jira and Jira Service Management, migration is not just about moving projects — it’s about protecting complex data structures like Assets schemas, objects, attributes, and attachments.

This is where many migration projects become complicated.

And this is exactly where Twinit provides a powerful solution.

With Insight Assets Backup & Migration, organizations can securely back up, restore, and migrate Assets data across environments without risking data loss or downtime.

Why Cloud Migration Is a Strategic Priority

Modern organizations are moving to cloud environments because they offer:

• ☁️ Scalability– infrastructure that grows with your business
• 🔐 Enhanced security– enterprise-grade protection and compliance
• ⚡ Operational agility– faster deployment and collaboration
• 🌍 Global accessibility – teams can work from anywhere

Atlassian itself strongly encourages migration to cloud-first infrastructure, which has become the standard for modern teams.

However, migrating complex Jira environments often introduces risks.

The Biggest Risk in Jira Cloud Migration: JSM Assets Data

Companies using Assets (formerly Insight) rely on it to manage:

• IT asset inventories
• configuration management databases (CMDB)
• infrastructure dependencies
• internal services and systems

During migration, these structures must be transferred precisely and completely.

The challenge is that Assets contains deeply structured relationships between:

• schemas
• object types
• attributes
• attachments
• issue references

Traditional migration approaches often struggle to preserve these relationships.

This is why specialized migration tools are required.

Meet Twinit’s Insight Assets Backup & Migration

Insight Assets Backup & Migration is a powerful Atlassian Marketplace app designed to make Assets backup, restore, and migration simple and secure.

It allows administrators to:

• back up Assets schemas
• migrate data between Jira instances
• restore attributes and objects
• transfer attachments and relationships
• monitor activity with audit logs

The documentation highlights that the app provides tools for backup configuration, migration between instances, restoring attributes in objects, restoring objects in Jira issue fields, and managing object attachments.

This ensures that Assets data remains intact during cloud migrations.

How Twinit Simplifies Cloud Migration

1. Secure Backup of Assets Schemas

Before migration begins, administrators can create complete backups of Assets schemas.

This ensures that:

• objects

• attributes

• schema structures

are preserved before any migration process begins.

2. Migration Between Jira Instances

The app allows teams to migrate data across environments, including: 

• Server → Cloud

• Data Center → Cloud

• Cloud → Cloud

The documentation interface shows that administrators can connect multiple instances and sync schemas between them directly, simplifying migration workflows.

3. Restore Attributes and Objects

A critical challenge in Assets migration is preserving object attributes and relationships.

Twinit’s solution enables administrators to:

• restore attributes inside existing objects

• maintain relationships between assets

• preserve schema structure

This prevents the most common migration failure: broken asset references.

4. Restore Objects Inside Jira Issues

Assets objects are often embedded inside Jira issue fields.

The app allows teams to restore those objects and ensure that issue references remain intact after migration.

5. Backup and Restore Attachments

Assets objects may contain attachments such as:

• documentation

• asset images

• configuration files

Insight Assets Backup & Migration ensures that these attachments are fully backed up and restored during the migration process.

Enterprise Security and Compliance

For enterprise organizations, security is a top concern during migration.

Twinit’s solution includes advanced features such as:

• 🔐 BYOK encryption (Bring Your Own Key)
• 📜 security and compliance support
• 📊 audit logs for migration activities

These capabilities allow organizations to maintain full control over data protection and regulatory requirements.
