Here are frequently asked questions and their answers:
How does Admin Kit keep the backup data?
Admin Kit doesn’t store the backup data per se. It just automates the site backup according to the schedule and only holds the backup URL. The products (Jira and Confluence) keep the actual backup data. For more details, refer to the product documents:
Jira: export data
Confluence: create a site backup
Are installed app data on the site included in the backup?
Most likely, yes; however, it depends on how the apps are implemented. So we highly recommend reaching out to the app vendor to ask if your app data is restorable with the product backup.
Can I automate the backup download as well with Admin Kit?
No, unfortunately you can not. The feature request is tracked at AKIT-4 - Getting issue details... STATUS , but it will not be available in the foreseeable future. It is recommended for sure to download backups if possible. To do so, consider going with https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/automatic-cloud-backup/src/master/.
How can I proceed the backup restoration?
As the restoration scenario varies depending on the site usage, you maybe want to reach out to Atlassian Community. To understand better, refer to the relevant documents:
Jira: import data
Confluence: import content
Can I specify what time of day to run backups?
No, you can’t. Admin Kit schedules to run the backup task twice a week. For the sake of load balance, it’s designed to run periodically but with a bit of random noise. The underlying technology is a scheduled trigger provided by Atlassian.
