Backup of all Jira Issues (XML export)

Question

Hello,

i want to get all my Jira Issues on my local machine to have a backup of it (f. e. if i am not using jira in the future anymore). I already found the "export" option, but i don't know which is the best option for reading the issues later on without Jira.

I tried the XML-Export but i wasn't able to download it. Does someone know what steps are necessary to download the XML export? When i click on "Save page as" in the browser, the file gets automatically removed.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards!

Hello @Daniel Ebers

I solved my question for now with the Word-Export functionality. I looked at all the different options, but this one fits best for me.
