Backing up Structure saves the existing structures, their configuration and issue hierarchies. Structure backup does not save the issues themselves or other JIRA data - see Structure Backup and Restore.

To back up Structure:

  1. Navigate to Administration | Structure | Backup Structure.
  2. Enter the name for the backup file. If you omit file extension, either .xml or .zip will be added to it. 
    Note

    You cannot specify directory for the backup file. Backup is always done to the export sub-directory under JIRA home.

  3. Backup as ZIP option is turned on by default, but you can un-check it to get plain XML backup file.
  4. Click Backup
  5. If the file already exists, you will be given an option to overwrite the file or cancel the operation.
