Companies worldwide rely on Jira to plan, build, and manage critical applications and services. But when you look closer, it's clear they depend on more than just Atlassian's core technology. They also utilize a range of services and solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace to address needs like configuration management, diagramming, and time management.

Among these solutions, Timesheets by Tempo stands out as the #1 time-tracking app for Jira, used by thousands of organizations globally. Fortune 500 companies trust Tempo for accurate time tracking and capacity management, regardless of team size. The data within Tempo is as crucial to businesses as Jira itself. For organizations that need to manage development time effectively, Tempo is a mission-critical application.

Introducing Tempo Timesheets to the HYCU Marketplace

Recognizing the vital role Tempo Timesheets plays for Atlassian customers, we saw it as a natural step to extend HYCU’s data protection capabilities to include it. Alongside our existing protection for Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, Bitbucket, Jira Product Discovery, Trello, and other essential integrations in Atlassian’s ecosystem, we're proud to announce that Tempo Timesheets is now available in the HYCU Marketplace. This means customers can now ensure their Timesheet data is always protected, securely stored, and readily available.

Why Back Up Your Timesheet Data?

Just as your organization is responsible for safeguarding Jira and other cloud-based applications, it's imperative to take control of your Timesheet data. Here's why:

  • Human Error: Mistakes happen. Accidental deletions, overwrites, and other errors will always happen – no matter the application.  
  • Insider Threats: Disgruntled employees or contractors with lingering access can pose risks, potentially deleting critical assets in Jira Service Management or data within Timesheets.
  • Compliance: Timesheets contain vital data that often requires secure, offsite retention. Regulations like DORA, NIS2, and HIPAA may mandate backing up essential Atlassian plugins like Timesheets, X-Ray, and others.

Your Timesheet data is key to productivity, cost management, and informed decision-making across your team— you must take ownership of your backups.  

Enterprise-Class Data Protection for Tempo Timesheets

HYCU extends the same peace of mind provided to Atlassian Cloud customers to Tempo Timesheets with secure backup and recovery features:

  • Backup Autopilot: Assign backup policies with a single click or customize your own—choose backup frequencies (even down to the hour) and retention periods. Once set, your Timesheet data is automatically protected without further intervention.
  • One-Click Restore: In the event of data loss or accidental deletion, swiftly restore specific items with ease. You can restore:
    • Work attributes
    • Categories
    • Customers
    • Skills
    • Roles
    • Programs
    • Accounts
    • Workload schemes
    • Holiday schemes
    • Teams
    • All plans
    • And more!
  • Secure, Offsite Backups in Your Own Storage: Minimize third-party risks by using your own storage solutions. HYCU allows you to store backups under your control, respecting your data residency and storage class preferences. Compatible storage targets include:
    • Amazon Simple Storage (S3)
    • Azure Blob Storage
    • Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
    • Nutanix Objects
    • Dell ECS Enterprise Object Storage
    • OVHcloud
    • Cloudian
    • Wasabi
    • And more S3-compatible storage targets
  • Ransomware-Proof Copies: Enable WORM (Write Once, Read Many) backups to ensure you always have a secure, uncompromised copy for recovery.
  • Logging and Notifications for Compliance: Access continuous logging and set up notifications or webhooks into Slack, Jira Service Management, your SIEM of choice, and more to stay compliant and informed.

How Much Does It Cost?

Protecting Tempo Timesheets comes at no additional cost for existing or new HYCU customers already protecting Jira. Our mission is to ensure your entire Atlassian stack is safeguarded, recoverable, and compliant.
