One-Click Manual Backups

Learn how to create on-demand manual backups of your GitHub repositories with Cloudback, perfect for pre-change snapshots or immediate backup needs.

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
