Viewing Backups
You can view backup snapshots at both the global and repository level.
Global Backups Page
Navigate to Backups in the sidebar to see all backup snapshots across all repositories. The table includes:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | Success or failed. |
| Repository Name | The repository that was backed up. |
| Scopes | Icons showing which scopes are included (Code & Commits, Pull Requests, Issues). |
| Start Time | When the backup began. |
| Finish Time | When the backup completed. |
| Elapsed Time | Total duration. |
| Size | Snapshot size. |
The list is paginated for large numbers of backups. Use the page controls at the bottom to navigate.
Per-Repository Backups
To view backups for a specific repository:
- Go to Repositories > GitHub.
- Click on a repository.
- Open the Backups tab.
This shows the same table format but filtered to that single repository.
Restoring from a Backup
Each backup row includes a restore action button. Click it to start the Restore Wizard with that snapshot pre-selected as the source.
Backup Details
Each backup snapshot contains:
- Snapshot ID — A unique identifier for the backup.
- Scopes — The data included in the backup.
- Trigger — How the backup was initiated (On Demand, Scheduled, or Push Event).
- Timestamps — Start and finish times.
- Size — Total storage consumed.
