Used "Backup Manager" and the project desappeared

We used 'Backup Manager' from JIRA and the project disappeared.

Trash - I couldn’t find a record.

Audit Log - I couldn’t find an entry for Project deleted or any related subjects.

Note: The downloaded file doesn’t exist.

Hello @Fernando Lagoeiro 

Did you created Backup for Cloud or Data Center ?

Because historically, for Backup for Server, Team-Managed projects are not included. They not exist there.

Anything else beyond that, you should adress it directly with support.atlassian.com because without see backend, all we can is mostly speculating.

Best,

Arek🤠

Hi @Fernando Lagoeiro 

You performed a backup of your Jira Cloud instance and the project is not present when you restored this backup? Is that the issue?

Can you tell us which steps you executed exactly?

Jira Cloud instance - yes

You performed a backup of your Jira Cloud instance and the project is not present when you restored this backup? I can see the Import option but i don´t have the file to import.

Can you tell us which steps you executed exactly? Backup Manager in the option (you can see in the attchment)backup Jira.png

You should get a download link once the backup process completes.

Are you trying to restore a project you lost? Because the backup will perform a backup of your current Jira data. It will not give you a backup from the past.
