Protected resources

Overview of protected GitHub resources, including repositories, wikis, and metadata secured by backup.

GitHub protected resources define which repositories and data GitProtect can access, secure, and restore.

---

Backup coverage

The following list includes all GitHub resources covered by backup.

Support for backing up projects (classic) has been removed. It is now available only for restoring previously backed-up projects (classic). When restored, projects (classic) are automatically converted to projects v2. Protected metadata for projects (classic) includes cards, issues assigned to cards, pull requests assigned to cards, columns, and notes.

The list is presented in alphabetical order.
