Extracting and archiving Jira projects

EXTRACTING AND ARCHIVING JIRA PROJECTS

Find out how to efficiently archive your data outside Jira.

Whether for legal, financial or other reasons, you need to extract data from outside your Jira instance for safekeeping.
For this purpose, we have developed an expertise and a plugin, Aquarius, which enables you to archive your requests. 

  • All information contained in your Jira is exported to
    (system fields, custom fields, history, attachments, etc.),
  • In an easily navigable format, similar to API repositories, from any browser, online or offline, and accessible without a license,
  • Or in formats tailored to your specific needs
    (Word, JSON, XML, etc.),
  • Immediate or programmed.

Our Aquarius plugin, available for Jira Server and Data Center

Would you like to migrate your Jira to the Cloud or Data Center?

Migration made easy

For a successful migration, the first step is to clean up old or unused data before migration, in order to speed up themigrationand the performance of the target instance.

However, in many cases, certain requests need to be retained. Aquarius makes it possible to extract projects identified as "outside the scope of migration". The extracted data is then stored and accessible outside Jira, in the chosen format.

Once the Jira instance has been cleansed of out-of-scope data, migration becomes simpler, and the target Cloud or Data Center instance will be less loaded in terms of data and settings.

Find your data easily

Once you've downloaded the Zip archive file, you can store it in a location compatible with future requirements, such as a shared drive (NAS) or Sharepoint.

The extracted Jira requests are then available in read-only mode, with all available information such as links, fields and attachments.

Want to boost the performance of your instance?

Is your Jira showing signs of fatigue?

Does it contain projects you no longer use and unnecessary configurations? It's time to archive your Jira and bring it back to its former glory!

Jira Data Center already offers you an integrated archiving method which allows the administrator to hide requests or projects from view. However, these projects are only removed from the search, but remain in your Jira. And their unnecessary configurations clog up your application.

Extract data and clean configuration

With Aquarius, you can export all the information contained in your projects in an easily navigable format, with direct access to attachments from any browser, online or offline. In this way, your data remains accessible outside Jira, and you can remove it from Jira to relieve pressure on your server and clean up any unnecessary configurations.

Decommissioning Jira Server or Data Center?

The decision has been made to leave Jira ...

Whether it's to join a competing solution, one already in place in your company or not, for budgetary, organizational or functional reasons. Whatever the reasons, such changes can have consequences, especially if you want to keep your data!

What solutions are available?

Transferring the data to the new system would be too costly and would not be retained!
Keeping the Jira application over time ... beyond licensing issues, this implies keeping the infrastructure and securing the instance as much as possible, which will no longer be able to upgrade versions ...

With our Aquarius for Jira solution, we simply extract all your projects into a structured archive.

And more ...

Aquarius will be useful for many applications:

  • To provide access to part of the data stored in some of your Jira projects to certain auditors (accounting, process, security or other), without giving full access to your Jira instance.
  • Your Jira is only accessible on the Intranet, and you must provide certain information stored in your Jira to external parties.
  • As part of the RGPD, you must provide an extraction of all Jira requests in which a customer is mentioned.
