Exam ACP-120 Topic 4 Question 21 Discussion

Restoring a Jira Cloud instance with a backup involves importing data, users, and media from thebackup file.
Valid options include importing data, merging or overwriting users, and importing media. However, importing apps(Option B) is not a valid option, as apps are not included in Jira Cloud backups and must be reinstalled separately.
* Explanation of the Correct Answer (Option B):
* Jira Cloud backups include issues, configurations, users, and media (e.g., attachments) but do not include installed apps or their data. Restoring a backup does not involve importing apps, as apps must be reinstalled from the Atlassian Marketplace and configured separately.
* Exact Extract from Documentation:
