This article describes use cases for GitHub available in GitProtect.

Use cases for GitHub in GitProtect show common scenarios for backing up and restoring repository data.

Cross recovery

One use of backups is cross-recovery of data between different Git providers. However, not all data can be restored across organizations. For details on cross-recovery possibilities, see this article.

Backup

Using GitProtect, you can create backup plans for your organization. These plans can cover a single repository or multiple repositories, depending on your needs.

Achieve goals

Using backups can also help reduce expenses on your Git service. GitProtect allows you to keep repositories in backup storage, so you can remove them from the Git platform.

This archiving is managed through the retention policy, which lets you decide how long to store your repositories.

Restoration

If you already have a repository backup, you can restore it to any organization added to your GitProtect console, including between Git instances or even across different Git providers.
