Archive goals

By using the backup, you can also reduce expenses on the Git service. Due to the fact, that GitProtect gives you the possibility to keep the repositories on storage in the backup form, you can resign from holding them in the Git platform. The archive goals are possible thanks to the Retention policy - using it you are able to decide on how long you want to store your repositories!

Restoration

If you already have a repository backup, you can restore it to any organization added to your GitProtect console - between the Git instances, or even Git providers!
