Hi all. 

I have a question about jira backup in linux. 

Can we do backup via using command line in linux.

I want to create a crontab to make backup for each month.

Depends on what type of backup you need.

Jira has a built-in xml export which you can tell it to run regularly, then your backup script will need to copy (at least) that export and the attachments to backup storage.

Or, to do it as recommended, use the database backup tools for your database to get a copy of the database, and put that and the attachments on your storage.

Go to admin -> Services and you should see the default backup service - you can amend the schedule there.
