Cron expression for every 2 hours for Jira Backups

Bunty

Hi Everyone,

We have added following cron expression in Jira to get Backups for every 2 hours.

0 */2 * * * ?

But we are getting backups for every 2 min.

Any help?

Thanks in Advance,

Bunty

And for next time you're looking to make/check a cron, there's some very useful online cron tools to assist - eg: http://www.cronmaker.com/

(or just google something like "online cron" if you forget that site)

Note that the first position is seconds, then minutes, then hours, so you want:

0 0 */2 * * ?

Hi!

*/2 * * * *

But for what do you need that backup ? Maybe better to evaluate replication of DB ?

Doing XML dumps is one of the most expensive operations you can ask Jira to do. It is really intended to be a migration method and not a backup method.

Atlassian recommends using native database backup technology now, as Gonchik mentioned. Here's the documentation from Atlassian with their official stance on this. Note the box in red.
