Protected data

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 into projects v2.

Protected metadata for projects (classic) include cards, issues assigned to cards, pull requests assigned to cards, columns, and notes.
