Hi @Abdo.80 

If possible, that would likely involve using the Jira API.

 

Hey there,
I just stumbled upon this post and its quite old but as we are an application developer who specializes backing up Jira Cloud, I thought that I’d drop you some info.

Firstly, to answer your question, I’d imagine to get access to your Jira Backup data from the cloud you’d need to use the Rest API, so here is an article that I dug up from the Atlassian community which addresses this:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/How-to-download-jira-backup-file-via-restapi/qaq-p/1288001

However, the manaual backups in Jira have a couple of crucial limitations, being…
1.  You can’t schedule them.
2.  You can only run them every 2 days, you can’t take a daily backup.

For most modern companies, this does not meet basic compliance needs which is why we created our marketplace app which is an enterprise grade backup app called Data Manager for Jira.  

If you need more info, here are a couple of links:

Hope this helps!
