how to backup jira onDemand

Neil Markey August 30, 2012

we want to change the default workflow within our jira instance to better suit our business needs however we have been using jira for a while and have a lot of history within it.

At present, project 'abcd' is associated with 'Default Workflow Scheme' and a default workflow 'jira'. We cannot alter this default workflow and scheme.
In order to alter the workflow we have to create a Custom_Workflow_Scheme and a Custom_Workflow and associate it with the project 'abcd'

Following steps are done...
1> Created a Workflow Scheme: abcd_Workflow_Scheme (Inactive at present)
2> Created a custom workflow : abcd_Custom_Workflow (Inactive at present)
3> Associated Issue Types with the abcd_Custom_Workflow


ToDo...
1> Change the workflow scheme associated with 'abcd' project:
To do this, go to Project -> abcd -> Workflows and click on the Change link next to the 'Default Workflow Scheme'
It prompts me to take a backup, so I did not proceed further...

How do I as administrator make a backup? I do not see any backup mechanism within my console

Jira OnDemand comes with a bundled backup manager. This can be found in your administration panel. Please see the following page for additional information: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Exporting+issues
