GitProtect v1.9.5

🆕 NEW FEATURES

Jira Assets

We’re introducing a highly requested feature for users protecting their Jira with GitProtect – the ability to back up and restore Jira Assets! Assets are the registry of all types of resources managed within Jira Service Management (JSM), such as:

• Services (billing, email, payroll)

• Hardware and software (servers, computers, phones, licenses)

• Employees

• Departments

• Server components

From now on, in the Additional data section of your Jira backup plan, you can enable Assets backup (disabled by default). Restore is available in both Disaster Recovery and granular modes – with original IDs preserved. This solution is unique on the market.

​🔨 IMPROVEMENTS

Jira Forge app

Our Jira application now operates as a Forge App, which means more native integration, improved performance, and an interface consistent with the Atlassian platform.

Disabling Forever incremental for Jira copies

Due to the complexity and resource intensity of Jira backups, we have disabled the Forever Incremental scheme in newly created plans. This change does not affect existing plans.

GitHub App - using InstallationToken instead of UserToken

Implemented a new authorization mechanism using InstallationToken, improving the stability of GitHub organization integration with GitProtect.

GitHub - better information about lack of permissions

Added clearer messages when backup permissions for repositories are missing.

Optimization of GitLab backup and restore

Significant backup and restore performance optimization (fewer API calls, parallel operations). Also resolved an issue related to milestones backup.

Warning about restore a repository larger than 2GB

Before restore, we now check the repository size and display a warning if it exceeds 2 GB – in line with most Git providers’ limits.

Azure DevOps - excluding the main account from the backup task

Added the option to exclude the main account from backup (saving API limits).

🐛 BUGFIXES

Restore repository with LFS to a local device

Fixed restore of LFS repositories directly to a device.

Azure DevOps - backup pull request with abandoned status

Added support for the abandoned status in Azure DevOps pull requests.

Azure DevOps - backup of large repositories

Optimized backup performance for large repositories.
