Backbone is an amazing and very easy-to-use tool! It helped me sync multiple projects from Jira Server to Jira Cloud in a matter of days! I’d recommend this tool to anyone migrating from Server to Cloud. Bruno Rosa, Spartez Software

You can sync changes to Jira issues in real-time... I am very happy with the performance. We have tried other competitors too, but Backbone has, by far, the best interface to work with. Robin Keet, BAS World

FAQs

Does Backbone need to be installed on each Jira instance to be synchronized? dropdown Icon

Yes, Backbone would need to be installed on each instance where you need to sync Jira issues and other data. You will also need a valid Backbone license for each instance you're integrating with.

If for any reason, you can’t install Backbone on one of the instances, you might want to check out our “Remote Licensing” option. Remote licensing lets you install Backbone on one Jira only and synchronize with other Jira instances that don’t have Backbone installed.

Can I synchronize Jira issues between server, data center, and cloud? dropdown Icon

Yes, you can sync issues between any combination of Jira cloud, server, and data center. You can also sync Jira issues between any type of projects and any combination of Jira Service Management, Jira Software, or Jira Work Management instances.

That’s what makes Backbone one of the most flexible tools around!

Can I select the Jira issues to be synchronized, or do I need to sync the entire Jira project? dropdown Icon

By default, all issues will be auto synchronized as soon as Jira projects are paired using Backbone. If you want to sync only certain issues, you can use JQL #labels or other JQL commands to restrict which issues to share. This can be useful if you want to keep your instance and its contents private and only share selected issues with collaborators.

Is Backbone robust enough to scale and support enterprise-level synchronization? dropdown Icon

Since 2012, Backbone has been helping enterprise-level clients collaborate better across Jira instances. Performance tests are continually implemented to ensure there are no abnormalities or load on both the app and the Jira instances. For example, we have customers use Backbone with more than 50k issues per project without any problems!

A dedicated team of developers is always at work, making sure that the app’s performance is optimal. Backbone also has the “Cloud Fortified” tag from Atlassian, meaning we are acknowledged for our constant reliability checks that include Assessment for Scale, Incident Management Tracking, and SLIs monitoring.

Does Backbone have an information security policy? dropdown Icon

We take the security and privacy of your data very seriously! Backbone will synchronize data based on your synchronization configuration. It will export data from the source project and import it into the target project. Between the export and import, Backbone is responsible for the data. After the synchronization is complete, the responsibility is within the target project.

How does the app pricing work? dropdown Icon

Backbone, like all other Atlassian apps, is billed based on the maximum number of users on your instance. For example, if you have Jira Software (50 users) and Jira Service Management (10 agents) on the same instance, you pay the 50-user price for the app.

Backbone cloud is sold as a monthly or annual subscription. You are eligible for support and automatic version updates as long as your subscription is active. When your subscription renews each month, you are automatically billed for Backbone based on the number of users on your instance.
