Cross-recovery for DevOps organizations

How GitProtect restores repositories and metadata across Git providers for rapid disaster recovery and DevOps migrations.

GitProtect enables cross-recovery across DevOps ecosystems by letting organizations restore repositories and associated metadata between different hosting providers such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. Recovered content covers repositories and many forms of metadata, including pull requests, wikis, issues and other repository artifacts where supported by the source and target platforms.

Available resources

The following tables outline which resources and metadata can be cross-restored between platforms.

For a complete list of protected resources and metadata, refer to the Protected resources article for the relevant DevOps platform.

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.

In the tables below, the term GitLab refers collectively to both GitLab self-managed and GitLab SaaS environments. Similarly, the term Azure DevOps refers collectively to both Azure DevOps Server and SaaS environments.

The list is presented in alphabetical order.
