Backup schedule
The Backup Center app supports two types of backup snapshots. The Basic type includes all the site projects and issue data, without images and attachments.

In addition Jira prevents creating an extended backup if any other backup was performed in the preceding 48 hours. The app supports saving basic, extended, or a combination of two, with a timing schema that supports the extended backup constraints.

Number of backup files to keep: this is the maximum number of files that will be saved in the storage. The default value is 10. Once this number is reached, files are being rotated, where the oldest file is removed whenever a new one is created.
