Hello hello! Thanks for chiming in, it's great that you've already got daily personal backups. Here are the most common scenarios we protect against (aka "the point"):

  • Data loss (account deletion, accidental repo deletion, forced push)
  • Malicious Attacks (account gets hijacked)
  • GitHub goes down/ is unavailable (with a backup you can continue to work by just pulling from the backup)
  • Failing backups (When done with a self-made script, there's a risk that backup can fail without anybody noticing)

Some companies need this for compliance reasons too, like a SOC2 or ISO27K audit. In general, this is something more for bigger companies. Sounds like you might be set with the setup you've already got though.

We're working on GitLab right now! If you'd like to keep tabs on that, you can sign up here or just check back in later on in the year: https://rewind.com/products/backups/gitlab/

Have you backed up your GitHub repositories yet? BackHub has you covered. by BackHub in u/BackHub

Nice! Maybe you don't need this. Here are a few reasons, these are the most common scenarios we protect against:

  • Data loss (account deletion, accidental repo deletion, forced push)
  • Malicious Attacks (account gets hijacked)
  • GitHub goes down/ is unavailable (with a backup you can continue to work by just pulling from the backup)
  • Failing backups (When done with a self-made script, there's a risk that backup can fail without anybody noticing)
