# Backup and restore settings

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**: The Backup and restore feature is only available for server and data center versions.&#x20;

We recommend that you always create a Jira backup of your system before a restore in Email This Issue.

Currently the supported way of an Email This Issue restore is creating new entities and overwriting existing ones.
