Cloudback is a robust SaaS solution that automatically safeguards your GitHub repositories. Whether you're an individual developer, a collaborative team, or a large organization, Cloudback ensures your code, project history, and important metadata are securely backed up and easily recoverable.

Core Functionality

Cloudback seamlessly integrates with your GitHub repositories, providing automated, secure backups that go beyond basic repository cloning. This includes comprehensive backups of repository content and a wide range of GitHub-specific metadata.

Key Features

Automated Backups

Cloudback runs backups automatically at set intervals, protecting your repositories without manual intervention. This includes code and extensive metadata, ensuring peace of mind.

Full Repository Protection

Backup extends beyond code to include crucial metadata such as issues, pull requests, wiki pages, releases, labels, and more, providing a complete snapshot of your project.

Rapid Recovery

Quickly restore repositories to minimize downtime during unexpected data loss events.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Cloudback is SOC 2 compliant, demonstrating our commitment to robust security practices. We use the official API, and our application is verified by GitHub. We offer password-protected archives and use AES-256 encryption (a military-grade encryption standard) to secure your data both in transit and at rest.

Flexible Storage

Use Cloudback-managed storage or your preferred cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.). Our composite storage allows multi-provider replication for enhanced redundancy, ensuring your backups are distributed and highly available.

Customizable Backup Schedules

Tailor backup frequency to match your development cycles and needs.

Efficient Storage Utilization

Data deduplication technology minimizes storage usage and costs by eliminating redundant data.

  • Small to Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs): Companies needing a simple and compliant backup solution.

  • Enterprises: Large organizations requiring scalable and secure cloud storage backups.
