Honest question here: The companies impacted by this, are they not taking backups of their Jira/Confluence/Bitbucket instances? Or is this outage impacting the ability to import those backups?
There are some Python scripts that will back up Jira and Confluence. I whipped up a quick script that gets a list of all our bitbucket repos and then it clones those daily as well.
A Jira backup blob isn't especially useful. Confluence could be if it's essentially HTML dumps that you could host internally read-only. Bitbucket clearly has backups and a migration path.
Why is it not useful? From eyeballing it it looked like the same file I built from our Fogbugz data to import our historic cases into Jira. I'll carve out some time to try doing an import into a new project to see if it loads properly.
In this particular case, if you have another account, that could work. What I meant was that Jira isn't very useful unless people can actively use it for issue tracking. It's not all that valuable when it's just a reference.
