Backup Configuration

Its a simple plugin but it does exactly what it says on the tin. It produces empty backups (all the config, non of the issues). But why would you want such a thing? If you have staged environments coupled with external systems tightly integrated into JIRA, this plugin is a godsend. If you need to maintain consistent IDs within all your JIRA staged environments it is very difficult to do without this plugin. Sure, you can take a backup from your production environment and then delete your issues, but that potentially could be days of work. With this plugin you can take an empty backup of your production environment and restore it back across each of your staging environments, bringing all your IDs into alignment. I have a couple of criticisms: * It is not compatible with the latest versions of JIRA (this maybe fixed by the time you read this - hopefully). * Some of the English used in the tool comes across somewhat like that of a spam email involving Nigerian Princes. It could do with a bit of polish. But other than that, absolutely recommended.

This addon is really useless! There are no extra configuration dialogs available!

We have 1.4 million issues in our PROD environment, so this allows us to copy back to DEV environments without the issues which is a massive help.
