What is Cloudback?

Cloudback safeguards software development projects by delivering automatic, daily, and on-demand backups for GitHub repositories and metadata. The solution ensures instant restorations for issues, pull requests, labels, milestones, and more, supporting disaster recovery, compliance, and ransomware protection requirements. Cloudback enhances data security with SOC2 compliance, AES-256 encryption, regional storage, retention policies, audit logging, and immutable backups, all while offering seamless integrations with leading cloud services such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Wasabi.

Designed for businesses of all sizes, Cloudback allows organizations to use their own cloud storage and manage backup schedules for public or private repositories.
