One-Click Manual Backups

While Cloudback automatically backs up your repositories daily, you can also create manual backups at any time. Manual backups are useful in the following scenarios:

• When testing a newly configured backup storage

• When you need to download the latest version of your repository with waiting for automated backups

• When you aim to secure a specific version of your repository, eg:

  • Before making significant changes to your repository

  • Before deleting a repository

  • Before transferring a repository to another user

  • Before migrating a repository to another platform
