The only #1 GitLab backup & recovery solution in the world

Most git backup vendors offer retention limited to 30 days. Forget about it. GitProtect gives you full control over retention so you can keep your copies as long as you want and recover repositories from any point in time. If you have unused repositories, use this feature as your GitLab archive.

As the user you can define the retention rules in three ways:

• by indicating the number of copies you want to keep,
• by indicating the time of each copy to be kept in the storage. Those parameters are set separately for the full, differential, and incremental backup,
• keeping all versions infinitely.

All data restore possibilities are available directly in your management panel. Unlike in other vendors, you don’t have to install any additional GitLab restore app. Simply choose data you want to restore (repositories or repositories and metadata) and decide whether it should be restored to:

• your local machine,
• a new GitLab repository,
• crossover - to another hosting platform. It enables fast and easy GitLab migration - you can restore your repository to Bitbucket or GitHub repo and conversely.

And with the Granular Recovery feature, you gain fast, and point-in-time recovery of all GitLab repositories or repositories and only selected types of metadata.

A backup plan lets you manage your GitLab projects’ protection easily and effectively. Setting it up lasts up to 5 minutes and then you just watch the magic happens. You can choose a predefined backup plan (i.e. backup of all repositories) or customize your own.

In such a backup plan you indicate:

• data to protect (i.e. all data, only chosen GitLab repositories, and metadata),
• storage - whether you use GitProtect.io on-premise or SaaS you can store your copies locally (local disk resources - NAS, SAN, or SMB network shares) or in the cloud (Xopero Cloud, AWS, and all S3 compatible clouds - i.e. Azure, Alibaba Cloud, Google Cloud Storage, Wasabi),
• schedule - it gives you the possibility to set the frequency of backup execution in monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly manners. You can limit backup performance time to non-working hours so it does not impact your work and network bandwidth,
• advanced features - retention, versioning, and rotation schemes (GFS or FIFO), encryption level, compression level, and much more...

Security is our top priority. We need to make sure we deliver our customers peace of mind so they can focus on what they do the best - building world-changing software. GitProtect brings you confidence when it comes to your GitLab security and backup, including:

• Backup encryption - your data is always encrypted with AES algorithm - considered impossible to break and used by the US government to encrypt confidential data.
• In-flight encryption - the encryption process starts before your data even leaves your physical machine so it’s protected either during a backup performance and at rest in the repository.
• Zero-knowledge encryption - your device does not have any information about the encryption key - it receives it only when performing a backup. We don’t know what’s inside and nor will any intruder.
• Secure Password Manager - store and manage all your passwords (internal and external) in one, secure place. Create strong passwords you don’t need to memorize - save them and pick from the list once needed.
• No single point of failure - in short: you can lose access or all configuration of the GitProtect.io management panel but as long as you have your encryption key you can restore the data.
• Detailed audit logs - All information, errors, success notifications, warnings… with all the details so you can easily identify any cause-and-effect relation.
• Backup verification - anytime you can test if your backup works. We keep you informed about backup execution with detailed in-panel statistics and email reports.

GitProtect.io as part of the Xopero Software family takes advantage of the enterprise-class features of Xopero ONE - a flagship backup software. Such as:

• SaaS or on-premise deployment,

• The intuitive, data-driven central web management console,
• Multi-level management of many admins and many organizations,
• Predefined backup plans and advanced plan customization,
• Advanced scheduler and GitLab backup on demand,
• Unbreakable backup encryption (AES algorithm, in-flight, zero-knowledge encryption),
• Full, incremental, differential backup,
• Full control over long-term retention and GitLab archive possibilities,
• Advanced rotation schemes - GFS, FIFO for effective storage usage,
• Advanced compression and levels of compression,
• Advanced audit logs, statistics, reports,
• Fast restore, granular, point-in-time, crossover recovery, and easy migration,
• and more...
