repository backup and recovery

Saber Hosseini

Hello all,

In our team, we have some concerns about repository backup and recovery. We were wondering about types of backup bitbucket offers to developers. More specifically, are there other ways of backing up than just copying repository into an offline machine? Or, does Atlassian offer any types of backup?

The other question, is there any way to recover of removed/corrupted repos?

 

Best regards,

Hi Saber

What kind of backups are you looking for?

Are you afraid Atlassian might lose your data?

Or are you looking for a solution to rtecover repositories in case one of your users accidentially removes a repo or a part of a repo?

Here is some information from Atlassian: Does Bitbucket Cloud backup my repositories? 
In short: Atlassian can restore your repos up to 7 days after deletion.

In case an error happens on their own side they have their own restore mechanisms.

 

You could also put your own mechanism in place to fetch all Bitbucket cloud repositories locally.
But to be honest: Git is already a distributed system and every developer using a repo has a local copy of the branches they checked out previously.
