Bulk operations allow you to perform actions on multiple repositories at once. This feature is useful when you need to manage many repositories efficiently.

How to Perform Bulk Operations

To apply multiple actions to repositories using bulk operations, you need to open the Bulk Operations page from the sidebar. Here you can set a custom schedule, change the backup storage, or update retention policy for multiple repositories at once. Also, you can enable or disable the automated daily backups for multiple repositories.

Repository Filters

To apply bulk operations, you can select the account for which you want to perform the action. You can also filter repositories by name pattern. This way, you can select only the repositories that match the pattern.

Wildcard characters:

  • * - zero or more characters

  • ? - exactly one character

  • , - specify multiple queries separated by a comma

Examples:

Considering the selected account has 4 repositories awesome, awesome-repos, books and static-website-example, the given patterns will match the following repositories:

  • * - matches all repositories

  • awe* - matches awesome and awesome-repos

  • awe*,book - matches awesome, awesome-repos and book

  • *b* - matches book and static-website-example

Available Bulk Operations

You can modify the following settings for multiple repositories at once:

  • State - Schedule / Not Scheduled. This setting allows you to enable or disable the automated daily backups for multiple repositories.

  • Storage - Set a storage for backup archives, could be Cloudback or a custom storage created by a user.

  • Retention policy - Backup archive retention policy - determines how long the backup archives are kept before they are deleted.
