# Cross-recovery

**GitProtect enables cross-recovery for Bitbucket DC, allowing repositories and their associated metadata to be restored between different Bitbucket DC instances or across supported DevOps platforms. The process preserves Git history, branches, tags, pull requests, and other repository artifacts where supported, ensuring data integrity and consistency during migrations, disaster recovery, or infrastructure changes.**

***

## Available Git platforms

**GitProtect** allows you to restore backup data across all supported **DevOps** platforms.

Different vendors provide various types of metadata, which may not be common to all providers. **As a result, during the restore process, some metadata might not be available for restoration.**

The table below outlines protected **Bitbucket DC** metadata and where it can be restored.
