FAQs
Does Backbone need to be installed on each Jira instance to be synchronized?
Yes, Backbone would need to be installed on each instance where you need to sync Jira work items 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 work items between data center and cloud?
Yes, you can sync work items between any combination of Jira cloud, server, and data center. You can also sync Jira items 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 work items to be synchronized, or do I need to sync the entire Jira project?
By default, all work items will be auto synchronized as soon as Jira projects are paired using Backbone. If you want to sync only certain work items, you can use JQL #labels or other JQL commands to restrict which work items to share. This can be useful if you want to keep your instance and its contents private and only share selected work items with collaborators.
Is Backbone robust enough to scale and support enterprise-level synchronization?
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 work items 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?
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.
