Full re-index need backup?

rodrigo.palazzolli

Hi, I need execute a full re-index in my Jira instance to try resolve a problem, do I need to realize a backup before of full re-index? If yes, what I need make a backup?

About the problem if someone can to help or to know about: the Jira is with problem in return results of the queries, don't return all results how issues, for example, I to search find the issues with an specific word or phrase, the search return some issues but always fault some, so I think that a full re-index can help, because a background reindex don't resolved the problem.

Thank you.

If you are performing a full reindex there shouldn't be a reason to have to backup your instance.  You can learn more about how to perform an index here https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/search-indexing-938847710.html#:~:text=Access%20Jira%20on%20the%20node,make%20sure%20everything%20looks%20fine.
