Just add a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account (one or as many that you need) to start protecting your data instantly. And the best part... Any new repo will be automatically added to the backup plan. There is really no maintenance needed. Restore operation? You can choose between DR and granular restore to a new repository or local device.
Use your own storage (compatible with AWS S3 or on-premise) or choose GitProtect's dedicated cloud and choose your preferred data centers located - EU or US- based.
The last Jira outage gave us a lot to think about - mostly how would we deal with a such scenario ourselves. And the answer didn’t fill us with much optimism. We needed to make fast changes and include Atlassian tools in our backup policy. There was one problem – most backup vendors don’t cover DevOps tools. So the initial issue has grown even bigger. Fortunately, we heard about GitProtect, tested Bitbucket backup, deployed it and now we are waiting for the upcoming launch of backup for Jira. For us, GitProtect is a real game-changer.
We live from coding. So we are aware of intellectual property value. We need to make sure that our customer’s data and the source code of their GitHub projects are protected and accessible from any point in time. GitProtects provide us with nearly unlimited retention and GitHub archive possibilities. And features like encryption and password manager ensure us with our code security.
To achieve SOC 2 certification, our organization needed to implement a fully manageable GitHub backup solution. There was no question about compromising any of our strict security policies. GitProtect with its strong focus on security, user encryption, and policy-based advanced backup plans set up was the obvious choice.
