How can you backup plan settings for Bamboo Cloud?

[grantreidnz]

Like a twit, I accidentally deleted a new deployment plan we were working on.

In the process, I realised that I can't find a way to export the settings, or even do a backup in Bamboo Cloud. 

How do you backup and restore plans in Bamboo Cloud?

How can I keep my settings under change control?

Unfortunately neither of those features are available as of today:

• How do you backup and restore plans in Bamboo Cloud? - this is one of the highest voted and longest standing feature requests:
  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-1223
  • While you can export an entire Bamboo Server instance as at least, this isn't available in Bamboo Cloud either:
    https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-13079
• How can I keep my settings under change control? - this would ideally be implied in BAM-1223 above, but might also be partially addressed by a related and likewise popular feature request for both Bamboo Server and Bamboo Cloud:
  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-13600
  
  

As you can see in the last comments on each issue, both seem to be on the top of the backlog now, but are also classified as comparatively complex so it might take a while still.

Thanks for your excellent answer Steffen. For now I (cough) resorted to taking screenshots of key config pages for build and deploy. I pity the fool that accidentally deletes our the build plan.

Plan Creation Scripting using Bamboo Command Line Interface (CLI) allows us to source control all of our plans. This works well for Server, but not so much for Cloud as  as we needed to provide extended REST APIs which are not allowed on Cloud.

Thanks Bob. I see you have solved it neatly for server. What a bummer you don't have the hooks you need for Cloud.
