We are excited to announce the extension of Commvault® Cloud Backup & Recovery for DevOps to include support for Atlassian Jira. This update brings enterprise-grade protection, recovery, and cyber resilience to Jira, helping organizations safeguard mission-critical project data against data loss and cyber incidents.

Why Protecting Jira Data Matters
Jira has become a cornerstone for many organizations, supporting everything from agile software development and product releases to IT service management. It houses the plans, workflows, and task data that teams depend on to help execute mission-critical work.
Despite its importance, Jira is not immune to data loss. Accidental deletions, misconfiguration, and malicious activity can quickly erase valuable project history and disrupt active work.
When Jira data is lost or becomes unavailable, teams lose visibility, sprints stall, releases are delayed, service commitments are missed, and productivity suffers as teams attempt to recreate lost information.
A reliable backup and recovery strategy for Jira is critical to help maintain continuous business and help minimize the risk of downtime, operational disruption, and potential failure to meet data retention or regulatory compliance requirements.
