Dashboard Overview
Explore the Cloudback Dashboard - your central hub for viewing repositories, triggering backups, and monitoring backup status.
Cloudback Dashboard is the central place where you can view your repositories, trigger backups, and view backup status. The dashboard provides an overview of all your repositories across all connected accounts.
The dashboard is available for all authenticated users at the following URL: https://app.cloudback.it. To access the dashboard from other application pages, click on the Dashboard link in the left sidebar.
About the Dashboard
Cloudback displays only the repositories it has access to. If you want to back up a repository that is not listed in the dashboard, you need to connect the appropriate account:
GitHub: Install the Cloudback application from the GitHub Marketplace or by clicking on Manage GitHub Installations in the user menu in the top right corner of the dashboard.
Azure DevOps: Connect your organization from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
Linear: Click Add Account in the left sidebar and select Linear to connect your workspace via OAuth.
GitLab: Click Add Account in the left sidebar and select GitLab to connect your account via OAuth.
If the Cloudback application is already installed but a repository is not visible on the Dashboard, you need to grant access to the repository using the installation management page (GitHub) or verify your account permissions (other platforms).
Please note that to automatically back up a repository, a subscription plan must be active for the account where the repository is located.
Dashboard Layout
The dashboard displays your repositories, projects, or workspaces in a table format, allowing you to quickly view and manage them. Each platform has its own dashboard view accessible from the left sidebar.
Each row in the table contains the following information:
Select: Checkbox to select the item. You can select multiple items to perform bulk operations such as triggering backups, modifying backup schedules, etc. Learn more about Bulk Operations.
Account: The account or organization name.
Repository (GitHub) / Name (Azure DevOps): The repository or project name (clickable to view details).
Type (Azure DevOps only): Shows whether the item is a "Project" or "Repository".
Status: Badge showing "Scheduled", "Not scheduled", "Restore only", or "Not accessible".
Schedule: The backup schedule name (e.g., "Daily at 9 pm").
Storage: The storage where backups are stored.
Retention: How long backups are kept.
Backup: Status of the last backup attempt (e.g., "Succeeded", "Failed", "In Progress").
Last Run: Time since the last successful backup (e.g., "2 hours ago") or "-" if no backup has run yet.
Toolbar Features
The toolbar above the table provides:
Search bar: Find items by name
Filter toggle: Show/hide filter panel
Reset: Clear all filters and search
Export CSV: Export the current filtered view as a CSV file
Trigger: Trigger backups for selected items
Restore: Start bulk restore for selected items
Edit: Modify settings for selected items
Platform Switching
Use the left navigation menu to switch between platforms. Click on your platform in the sidebar to view items from that platform. Each platform displays all items from connected accounts.
The dashboard updates in real-time — when backups or restores complete, the status updates automatically without needing to refresh the page.

Common filters (all platforms):
