Rewind now backs up and restores Xray and ScriptRunner, two of the most widely installed apps in the Atlassian Marketplace. Your test data and your ScriptRunner scripts and automations are backed up daily, right alongside the rest of your Jira instance. Restore comes back in place, in the right dependency order, with every relationship intact. Recover a single test or script on its own, or roll back an entire test suite or ScriptRunner configuration to a known point in time.
Here’s why that matters.
If you run Xray, the risk is broken traceability. Your tests, preconditions, test plans, and test sets reference each other across years of release cycles. A bulk edit, a faulty script, or an accidental deletion can sever those links, and there’s been no automated way to rebuild them. If you’re in financial services, medical devices, or another regulated sector, those records often serve as evidence for auditors.
If you run ScriptRunner, the risk is quieter. When a scheduled job or script listener is deleted or overwritten, Jira raises no error. The automation just stops, and without version history, you have no record of what changed or when.
The QA data in Xray and the automation logic in ScriptRunner are part of your Jira estate, just as much as the issues and fields native to Jira itself. Rewind’s Q4 2025 SaaS Resilience Report found that 69% of organizations require Jira recovery within 1 to 4 hours, yet half of large enterprises with that mandate have no solution in place, and the other half rely on manual recovery processes. Xray and ScriptRunner are exactly the kind of dependency that turns a Jira incident into a stalled release or a broken workflow nobody can explain until you trace it back. Neither app has native backup. That’s the gap we just closed.
Who this is for
If you’re a QA or engineering lead running Xray, this closes the gap between your test suite and everything else Rewind already protects. If you’re a Jira admin or DevOps lead running ScriptRunner, the automation your workflows depend on is now covered the same way your Jira data already is. And if you sit in IT or compliance in a regulated environment, this gives you an actual recovery path instead of a manual rebuild.
What’s next
Xray and ScriptRunner are the first two apps we’ve extended Rewind Backups for Jira to cover. Tempo is next. We’re continuing to invest in coverage for the third-party apps your team builds its Jira workflows around; this is what SaaS resilience actually means: protecting everything you depend on.
We’ll go deeper on Xray and ScriptRunner separately, what exactly gets backed up, how restore works, and how to connect it.
Available now. No separate charge, no separate configuration for encryption or storage. Both are included in Rewind Backups for Jira Advanced and Enterprise.
