Support for all Jira deployments and applications
Backbone lets you synchronize issues between all kind of JIRA deployments:
- Jira Server ↔ Jira Server
- Jira Server ↔ Jira Cloud
- Jira Cloud ↔ Jira Cloud
And all kinds of Jira applications:
- Jira Software
- Jira Core
- Jira Service Desk

And more...
Synchronization from behind a firewall
Projects can exchange issue data via email or file exchange if you select the distributed configuration option. This lets projects synchronize even if they cannot reach each other directly.
Secure encryption for all transmitted data
The data sent between your instances can be encrypted
- HTTPS connections are always encrypted
- Email and file-based data can be secured with PGP encryption
Synchronization without installing Backbone
If you use a remote license (only available on Jira Server instances), you can synchronize with other Jira instances without even installing Backbone there.
