Worker and its license

In this article, you will get information about backup agent and its license in case of Bitbucket.

Worker and its license

In general, before you start working with on-premise installed GitProtect, you need to deploy GitProtect worker, which will connect with your Git environment. This module will perform all the backup, restore, or replication tasks.

If you use a cloud-hosted management service (SaaS) you are not obligated to install GitProtect worker - you can use Cloud Worker, which is a cloud-deployed GitProtect worker. This agent is automatically added to your management service during initialization.

Otherwise, if you protect only the Bitbucket environment using an on-premise deployed management service, you need to install the GitProtect agent. The agent should have connectivity with the management service and storage. You don't need to buy a license for this device. Use the "feature worker" license.

Backup agent - called worker - can be choosen while creating a backup plan - in Data to protect section. You can also change the worker in already existing backup plan, just edit it.
