Activate a policy

We’re rolling out a new backup and restore experience for a limited number of customers on the Enterprise plan through an open beta program.

Backup and restore isn’t available in the Atlassian Government environment.

 

After assigning the app, setting the schedule, and selecting a storage, you need to activate the backup policy to start running backups.

To activate the policy:

  1. Assign an app to the policy.

  2. Include or exclude any entities depending on your need.

  3. Set a schedule.

  4. Select a storage.

  5. Select Activate policy.

You can view the policy and its details in the Backup policy tab.

Active and inactive backup policies

Active policies

When a policy is activated and backups are running as scheduled.

Inactive policies

Policies can become inactive in three ways:

  • When you select the app you want to back up, set the schedule, and select where to store the backup but don’t activate it, we automatically save the policy as inactive.

  • When you remove the schedule, the policy becomes inactive.

  • When you schedule a backup policy once and after the backup is complete, the policy becomes inactive.
