ProBackup vs Revyz for Jira
Jira has no trash for deleted issues, and Atlassian's own backups can't bring a single one back. ProBackup and Revyz are both Atlassian Marketplace apps that back up Jira every day. Here's how they compare.

Finding the best backup solution for Jira
Jira is where engineering, IT and operations teams track their work: every issue, comment and attachment is a decision someone will need later.
Atlassian keeps its cloud running, but your data is yours to protect. Jira has no trash for deleted issues, a bulk delete can remove up to 1,000 issues in one go, and a deleted project stays in the trash for 60 days before it is gone. Atlassian’s backup manager is a manual export, and its paid backup add-on restores only a whole app, into an empty one. In this guide we compare two Jira backup apps from the Atlassian Marketplace: ProBackup and Revyz. We look at which data gets protected, how restores work, and what each costs.
What Jira data gets protected?
Both apps back up your projects and issues with their comments and attachments, plus boards, sprints and components. Revyz also backs up Jira’s configuration, Jira Service Management, Assets and data from several Marketplace apps. ProBackup also keeps your users to browse, which Revyz does not back up.
Revyz
- Issues with their field values, links, attachments, worklogs, comments and history
- Project components, versions, filters, boards and sprints
- Configurations such as workflows, schemes, screens, fields and statuses, plus automation rules, groups and Jira’s audit log
- Jira Service Management service desks, requests and request types, and Assets
- Data from Xray, Tempo, ScriptRunner, Approval Path, JMWE and Zephyr
Not backed up: users, votes, watchers, workflow drafts, restricted issues (Atlassian’s APIs don’t return them) and data from other Marketplace apps. Dashboards, Advanced Roadmaps and issue forms are on its roadmap.
ProBackup
- Projects and issues with their sub-tasks, comments, attachments and custom field values
- Boards, sprints, components and users, to browse
Not backed up: automations, Assets and configurations, because of API limitations.
Backup and restore functionality
What Revyz offers
Revyz Command Center for Jira is built for Jira administrators. It backs up daily in a time window you choose and lets you trigger a backup on demand. You can restore issues as new copies or revert existing issues to an earlier state, restore projects with their configurations as a copy or an update, and restore to another Jira site, for example to seed a sandbox. Revyz also versions your configuration, shows drift between snapshots, and promotes configuration changes from sandbox to production. Its documentation lists limits too: team-managed projects can’t be restored directly because of Atlassian API limits, restores stay within the same project type, and automation rules are restored by hand.
What ProBackup offers
ProBackup backs up your Jira site automatically every 24 hours and restores what went wrong as a new copy, so nothing that still exists is overwritten.
With ProBackup, you can restore:
- Issues with their sub-tasks, comments and attachments, and with their status and custom field values where Jira accepts them
- Projects as a new project with their issues
Custom fields, boards, sprints, components and users can be browsed but not restored.
Navigating your backup history
Revyz’s navigation
Revyz’s explorer shows projects, project settings and issues as they were at a backup, and lets you filter issues by key, summary and type when you restore.
ProBackup’s navigation
ProBackup shows your backup the way Jira is organised:
- Pick any day with the date picker, project by project
- Open earlier versions of an issue
- Search every project at once with global search
Other ProBackup features
Lower Marketplace price
At list price ProBackup costs less than Revyz at every team size compared below, most clearly for small teams.
