It also feeds the test reports and Jira dashboards your teams use to decide whether a release is ready.   *Zephyr data is stored outside Jira, so a Jira backup doesn't include it.*   Revyz Command Center for Jira now backs up Zephyr test data alongside the rest of your Jira site. Here's why that matters. ### **Testing leaves a trail worth protecting** QA teams use Zephyr to plan, run and track their testing without leaving Jira. Every test case written, every cycle run and every result recorded adds to a history that grows release after release. Over time, that history becomes something much bigger than a QA tool. It's the regression suite your team spent years refining. It's the record of how every release was tested, in which environment and with what result. It's the link between a requirement, the test that covers it and the defect it found. For teams in medical devices, pharma and financial services, with regulatory needs, it's also audit evidence. When an auditor or a customer asks how a release was tested, the answer comes from Zephyr. Test cases can be rewritten, slowly. Execution history can't. Once a test run is gone, the record of it is gone with it.   ![](https://www.revyz.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Zephyr%20blog%20post%20images-png.png?width=889&height=500&name=Zephyr%20blog%20post%20images-png.png) ### **The gap nobody notices** Here's what makes this risk easy to miss. Zephyr looks and feels like part of Jira. Your team opens it from inside a Jira project, links tests to Jira work items and sees results on Jira dashboards. But Zephyr stores its test data outside Jira. A backup of your Jira projects, work items and configuration doesn't include it. Under Atlassian's shared responsibility model, customers are responsible for backing up their own cloud data. If Zephyr isn't explicitly part of your backup plan, your test history isn't protected, even if everything else is. ### **Migrating to Cloud? Don’t get derailed!** Large organizations moving to Atlassian Cloud are already managing a lot of moving parts: projects, users, workflows, apps and years of history, all moving at once. Test data is easy to overlook in that plan. Three times in October, global enterprises brought in Revyz 30 days before their Cloud Migration go-live date because they hadn’t considered test management data resilience. Yet it's exactly the data you'll need afterwards, when someone asks whether the migrated system was tested, or when an auditor wants evidence from a release that shipped before the move. Keeping an independent copy of your Zephyr data before, during and after the migration means your test history isn't left out of your backup plan at the moment it's most exposed.   ![](https://www.revyz.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Zephyr%20blog%20post%20images%20(2)-png.png?width=889&height=500&name=Zephyr%20blog%20post%20images%20(2)-png.png)   ### **Revyz now backs up your Zephyr test data** Revyz Command Center for Jira now backs up Zephyr – Test Management and Automation for Jira. Your Zephyr configurations and data are included in your scheduled backups, and you can run an on-demand backup whenever you need one, for example right before a big change. Zephyr data is captured in the same snapshot as your Jira data, so your tests and the work items they link to reflect the same point in time. Backups can be kept for up to seven years, or without a time limit when you store them in your own storage. Attachments pass through the Revyz malware scanner on the way in. ### **Close the gap today** A backup only counts if it was taken before something goes wrong. If Zephyr holds the evidence behind your releases, it belongs in your backup plan now. Zephyr backup is available now in Revyz Command Center for Jira Advanced.
