Cloudback creates a backup of your GitHub repository's metadata along with the repository itself. This ensures that you can restore your repository to its original state, including all issues, pull requests, milestones, and other metadata. This document explains what is included in a backup and what is not.

You can view the details of a backup to see the metadata that was collected during the backup process. There are two ways to view the details of a backup:

  • From the Dashboard, when using Card view, click on the Information icon in the list of backups on the card representing the repository.

  • From the Repository Details page, open the Backups tab and click on the Information icon next to the backup you want to view.

The details include the repository name, the date and time of the backup, the size of the backup, and the collected metadata statistics, such as the number of projects, pull requests, releases, issues, comments, labels and milestones:
