Your backup capabilities should keep up with the pace of your data changes. Once a day may not be enough - do it even every few minutes. Don't compromise - set as many automatic backup policies as you need, adjust the frequency and rules to fit the pace of changes.

Get access to the most flexible backup policy scheduler and trusted backup schemes - GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son), Forever Incremental, and more. As a result, you can increase the frequency along with speed of making copies, while optimizing the storage capacity.

You shouldn't limit yourself to one backup policy. Cybersecurity best practices suggest having several, each for critical, dynamic, and more static data. Define schedule, frequency, backup types (full, incremental, differential), advanced rotation schemes (GFS, Forever Incremental), retention (up to unlimited), data compression, and task balancing accordingly.

Only with full control over custom backup policies, can you meet even the most demanding company security needs or restrictive legal regulations (SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, and more).

Full backups are necessary, but they take much longer to complete and significantly burden storage capacity in the long term. Incremental and differential copies come to the rescue, taking into account only those parts of the data that have changed since the last copy - significantly speeding up the copy execution time and optimizing the storage capacity.

In addition, with the Forever Incremental and GFS schemes, you have full control over the backup chains (mixing full, incremental, and differential copies), retention and their execution schedule.

You know best how often you want to protect specific data. For some, a copy once a day may be enough. Others should be backed up more often. And in general, you only want to send data that has been changed since the last copy. The custom schedule gives you full freedom in setting the copy type and schedule.

Fully customized Grandfather-Father-Son and Forever Incremental schedulers are the most recommended schemes in the backup industry. They connect multiple backup types (full, incremental, differential), ensuring proper copy rotation and allowing to manage them in the long-term perspective while requiring minimal space in data storage.

This scheme is the perfect combination for speed of copy execution, storage usage optimization, and the efficiency of data restore and Disaster Recovery.

This scheduler is based on a simple rule - the first copy is always a full one, and all the following in the chain are incremental copies, consisting of only those parst of data that are new or modified compared to the last copy. Result? Significantly faster backups and reduced storage load.

To ensure the smooth operation of your data protection GitProtect has throttling-resistant mechanisms and data transmission resuming technology. If you want to bypass or limit throttling, you can assign an additional GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or GitLab account for backup performance. That will lead to a substantial acceleration of the backup process.

Saving storage capacity, limiting network bandwidth, and speeding up copy transfer are all benefits of data compression at the source. Manage compression settings the way you need - you can select the algorithm and the compression level for every backup plan separately.

Shared Responsibility Models and legal security regulations require you to store your data long-term. 365 days offered by competitors are not enough for most companies - especially if you operate in a highly regulated industry. GitProtect is the only solution on the market that provides unlimited retention for your copies while giving you access to the best data storage optimization technologies.

This functionality perfectly combines the needs of all DevOps, Security, and Management teams, ensuring seamless compliance with the most demanding security regulations.

GitProtect is the only vendor that offers you every-scenario-ready Disaster Recovery technologies in addition to granular restore.

Granular restore allows you to instantly restore selected individual data from your copy in case of minor errors or accidental deletion. Disaster Recovery Technology allows you to restore all of your instance data and configuration to any location. It ensures business continuity in the event of major failures, service outages, ransomware attacks, and more.

GitProtect is the world’s only solution that provides you with cross-platform restore and enables you to migrate selected or all the repositories and metadata between self-managed and cloud deployments, to the same or new account or across vendors - between GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.

As a Jira user, choose our solution for the ability to migrate Jira data and the entire configuration from one project to another or move between various Jira accounts - even to the free one with a no-user recovery option. Easily copy project configurations from Sandbox to Production, separate projects, or consolidate different Jira sites into one.

Imagine a long-term outage or major failure of your git hosting vendor. With unique on-the-market cross-deployment-restore, you can now recover all (or selected) data to different deployments of the same vendor or another - meaning between cloud and self-managed accounts.

Benefits? Any-scenario-ready Disaster Recovery, work and business continuity, reduced downtime costs, and compliance with security standards.

Any hidden features? Yes, the possibility to migrate from self-managed instances to the cloud and vice versa.

Need to recover data from Jira to a new account without paying twice? Or perhaps you want to test your recovery and disaster recovery processes? The no-user restore option is here to help! This feature allows you to restore all your data—without users—into a new (and free!) Jira account.

GitProtect is the only vendor on the market with multi-storage technology. Besides giving you unlimited storage, it also allows you to connect any number of storages - any cloud (S3-compatible, AWS, Azure Blob ) or your local server. You can also set automatic backup replication plans between storages, keep them both in cloud and on-premise and meet desired 3-2-1 backup rule.

GitProtect.io uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm to encrypt data. AES is a symmetric-key algorithm, meaning the same key is used for both encrypting and decrypting the data. AES is considered unbreakable and is widely used by many governments and highly-regulated businesses. GitProtect.io went further and enhanced the protection of its customers’ data with the possibility to set up their personal encryption key and have full control over encryption key level.

Your device has no information about the encryption key - it receives it only when performing a backup. Moreover, it is stored in a different location than your backups so no one can access your data.

Securely store and manage all your passwords in one convenient place - our built-in password manager. You no longer need to remember or save your passwords to external services - in GitProtect you'll have them at your fingertips.

GitProtect compresses and encrypts your data making it non-executable on the backup storage. This means that even if ransomware hits your files on the backup source, executing them in storage will be impossible.

Authentication data of the backup storage is sent to the agent only while performing backup so there is no way for ransomware to access your storage even if the source machine is infected.

To provide a structured and effective approach to managing access control, enhance security, and facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements, GitProtect.io enables role-based access controls. Thus, you can easily manage your team permissions by grouping them with similar needs and privileges under predefined roles (admin, operators, viewers). Stay in full control over your data management, knowing who is responsible for which operations regarding your backup plan performance, restore operations, and monitoring.
