New Local backup security health check
Storing your backups in the local Jira filesystem poses a security risk by allowing a potential attacker to gain access to sensitive data. To help you stay secure, we’ve added the Local backup security health check, which will look for backups in the local application storage and warn you if any backup files are found there.
