Bitbucket Backup & Disaster Recovery - the sole solution for Cloud and DC

To install our third-party Bitbucket Backup solution for your repositories, follow these steps:

1. To access our Bitbucket Backup tool create a new account on the signup page. You can register with an email address or choose one of the available SSO methods instead. For Bitbucket users, Atlassian SSO is a popular option.
2. If you are Signing up with Atlassian your organization/service will be connected with GitProtect right away. If your preferred method is email & password, then in the next step choose the tool you want to protect first - there are Bitbucket and Bitbucket DC available. You can authorize GitProtect using OAuth App or Bitbucket credentials (username and app password).
3. After finishing connecting your Bitbucket with an application you can run a default backup plan testing the product capabilities or create your own fully customized backup plan from scratch. It's worth mentioning that you can set as a backup destination free cloud storage - included in the offering - or add one of your own. It can be any public cloud or on-premise storage your organization is using. You can use a local backup folder on your machine, however this is not a recommended option.
4. Schedule automatic Bitbucket backups using our intuitive interface to ensure your data is regularly updated. By following these steps, you can secure your git repositories and metadata - not only Bitbucket but also GitHub and GitLab data - and reduce the risk of data loss. Forget about git clone or self-made and managed backup and restore scripts.

Our third-party backup process for repositories involves:

1. Automatically making a consistent backup copy of selected or all repositories including pull requests and other metadata (incremental copy, differential copy, and full copy). This approach provides protection way beyond the capabilities of any backup script.
2. Automatically syncing new repositories with an active Bitbucket backup plan.
3. As GitProtect is a multi-storage solution a user can use a preferred backup destination like AWS, Azure Blob, Google Cloud, or on-premise storage/data center to send backed-up Bitbucket data. replicate your backups between storages, you can easily ensure the 3-2-1 backup rule compliance.
4. Helping meet the 3-2-1 backup rule by our multi-storage support and backup replication policy.
5. Storing the cloned repository data in a secure file system volume to ensure data protection.
6. Regularly updating the backup to capture any new changes and commits. This strategy helps maintain a reliable SCM backup and ensures quick data recovery in case of any issues.

In case of data loss or downtime, follow these steps for data recovery using our solution:

1. Access your most recent backup copy from your backup store - cloud or local storage. In some DIY backup tools there is a dedicated backup folder on your machine, however in this case as GitProtect is a multi-storage solution you can send your data to multiple backup destinations and easily replicate backed-up data between them. There is a dedicated policy just for this purpose.
2. Restore the backed up repositories and metadata to your original Bitbucket service, a new one, or another git hosting provider.
3. Verify the integrity of the restored data to ensure all repository data and pull requests are intact.
4. Implement a robust DevOps backup strategy using our solution to prevent future data loss and minimize downtime. It's achievable as GitProtect also supports other git hosting providers like GitHub, GitLab and Jira Cloud, and Jira Service Management tools.
