What is Cloudback?
Secure, automated backup solution for GitHub, Azure DevOps, and GitLab (coming soon) repositories with enterprise-grade security, metadata protection, and flexible storage options.
Cloudback is a robust SaaS solution that automatically safeguards your GitHub and Azure DevOps 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 and Azure DevOps repositories, providing automated, secure backups that go beyond basic repository cloning. This includes comprehensive backups of repository content and platform-specific metadata.
Supported Platforms
GitHub: Full support for GitHub.com repositories, including personal accounts, organizations, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Available through GitHub Marketplace.
Azure DevOps: Full support for Azure DevOps repositories, available through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
GitLab: Coming soon.
Key Features
Automated Backups
Cloudback runs backups automatically without any manual work. You set the schedule, storage location, and how long to keep backups - Cloudback handles the rest. By default, backups run daily and are kept for 30 days, but you can change these settings anytime. You can also adjust the time zone to match when your team works.
Full Repository Protection
Backups go beyond just code. Cloudback saves a complete snapshot of your project including all the important details:
GitHub: Issues, pull requests, wiki pages, releases, labels, milestones, collaborators, webhooks, and more.
Azure DevOps: Repositories, pull requests with comments and attachments, branches, refs, and commits.
Rapid Recovery
Restore your repositories quickly when something goes wrong. Use the restore wizard to pick which backup to restore and where to put it. You can restore to the same repository or create a new one. Need to restore many repositories at once? The bulk restore feature lets you recover multiple repositories in just a few clicks.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Every backup is stored as a ZIP archive with AES-256 encryption - the same standard used by governments and military. Each archive gets a unique password that Cloudback manages for you. Even if someone gains access to your storage, they cannot read the backup contents without the password. Cloudback is also SOC 2 compliant and uses official APIs verified by GitHub and Microsoft.
Flexible Storage
Choose where your backups are stored. Use Cloudback's built-in storage in different regions (US, EU, UK, Sydney, Singapore) or connect your own storage from AWS S3, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, OneDrive, Wasabi, Alibaba Cloud, or OpenStack Swift. You can also set up composite storage to save backups to multiple locations at once for extra safety.
Customizable Backup Schedules
Create backup schedules that fit how your team works. Besides daily backups, you can set up weekly, monthly, or custom schedules using simple options for specific hours, days, or months. Apply the same schedule to many repositories at once using bulk operations.
Efficient Storage Utilization
Save storage space and reduce costs with data deduplication. Cloudback compares each new backup with the previous one. If nothing changed in your repository, Cloudback keeps a link to the existing backup instead of uploading a duplicate. You can see how much space you saved in the deduplication statistics on each repository page.
