The importance of data protection is stressed on any occasion and it seems that everyone now is fully aware of its importance. Nevertheless, we still hear of data loss because of a human error, in a malware attack, or because of a failure on a platform such as GitHub or Atlassian. These situations could have been avoided if only we invested in data protection and a backup plan. Modern Git backup plans allow you to get a backup in the cloud or on a device, and schedule it as you like or need. Read more to learn how to choose a GitHub Backup plan customed for your business.
1. Choose the destination of the Git repository backup
Do you know, where would you like to store your backup? Nowadays you have plenty of options. You can store the backup data locally on-premise (SMB network shares, local disc resources – NAS, SAN) or in the cloud. Whether you chose, you should be able to restore your copies to a new repository, crossover to another hosting platform, or on your local device. You just need to understand what your business needs the most and choose the most suitable software.
2. Decide on how frequently you need to back up your data
Backup can be run monthly, weekly, daily, or hourly – it depends on how much data you generate. Choose the schedule that fits your needs.
3. Choose a reliable vendorÂ
Avoid the risk and invest in a backup plan from a reliable vendor such as Gitprotect.io. With its Git Repository Backup, your data will be protected right away.
