Backup and Recovery for GitHub
Keep your GitHub data always safe and recoverable in a cloud-native, sovereign platform.
Why back up GitHub?
Your data and your settings are your responsibility
Understanding GitHub’s shared responsibility model is essential to mitigate data loss and its consequences; neglecting it leaves you at risk. GitHub secures the platform and infrastructure; you secure your data, access, and configurations. Accidental or intentional deletions of repository data remain your responsibility to recover.
Native capabilities are not enough
GitHub provides a few native retention controls, but these are limited and do not constitute a backup solution. These controls help manage storage and lifecycle but do not replace a dedicated backup strategy for all data and metadata. Your work may get permanently lost without a third-party backup solution.
The cost of losing your work
Data loss in GitHub — malicious or accidental — can erase critical source code, compromise security and compliance evidence, and halt development, leading to costly delays, rework, and risks to product integrity and business continuity. Neglecting this risk may lead to long-term reputational damage and jeopardize the future of the business.

Frequently asked questions
Like with most SaaS applications, GitHub secures their platform and infrastructure, and customers are responsible for their own data, access management, and configurations. On top of being responsible for recovering data in the case of accidental or intentional loss, customers also take responsibility over data compliance.
Relying solely on native capabilities leaves you vulnerable when the platform itself is compromised. So, third-party backup is the only surefire way to mitigate any damage resulting from cyberattacks, downtime, or human error.
Keepit offers simple, per-seat pricing. Full conditions depend on the service package you choose. For more details, visit our pricing page.
Awarded for its broad SaaS coverage, impenetrable architecture, and ease-of-use, Keepit ensures that your GitHub data is backed up and swiftly recoverable at all times, minimizing the impact of data loss and the burden of recovery on your teams.
Your data will be securely stored in Keepit’s independent cloud. We run our own data centers, operate on our own hardware, and our own people manage the infrastructure.
To ensure data sovereignty, we have seven data center regions in:
- Americas: Washington D.C., USA and Toronto, Canada
- Europe: London, United Kingdom and Zurich, Switzerland
- EU: Copenhagen, Denmark and Frankfurt, Germany,
- Asia-Pacific: Sydney, Australia
Once a customer chooses a Keepit region for backup, their data never leaves that region. Not only does Keepit guarantee that backup data will always stay in that region, but no processes exist that could even transfer backup data out of that region (aside from customer-initiated restores and downloads, of course). Should systems in a region ever need to be moved out of that jurisdiction, Keepit will negotiate the move with all affected customers prior to execution.
