Jira on-prem application backup script

[Duggi Tharakeshwaraiah]

We need to backup the whole Jira on-prem application. For that we need a script. Can someone help on this.

For anything other than a really small install (up to 25 users and a few thousand issues at most), your backups should be done by:

• Use the native database tools to get a backup of the database (mysqldump or pg_dump for example)
• Taking a copy of the attachments directory in the Jira home/data directory
• Take a copy of the Jira installation directory.  This is optional - restoring your installation is usually better done by installing a new Jira and then restoring the database and attachments directory, but restoring a copy of the install is quicker.
