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 | The current execution status of the backup. See Backup Statuses below. |
| Repository Name | The repository that was backed up. |
| Scopes | Icons showing which scopes are included (Code & Commits, Pull Requests, Issues). |
| Storage | Icons indicating which storages stored the backup snapshot (GitSec Storage & BYOS). |
| 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.
Backup Statuses
Each backup execution is in one of seven statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | The backup job is queued and waiting to start. |
| In Progress | The backup is currently running. |
| Completed | All selected scopes were backed up without errors. |
| Partially Completed | The backup finished, but not all selected scopes could be backed up successfully. See the Activity page for which steps failed and why. |
| Failed | The backup encountered an error and did not complete. Hover over the status badge or expand the row on the Activity page to see the failure reason. |
| Cancelled | The backup was cancelled before it finished. |
| Paused | The backup is temporarily paused. |
Filtering and Column Options
- Status filter: Use the Status filter in the table toolbar to show backups in a specific state. The filter selects one status at a time and defaults to Completed, so switch it to Failed, In Progress, or any other status to see those executions.
- Column visibility: Use the view options button in the toolbar to show or hide individual columns (for example, hide Provider or Elapsed Time to compact the table).
Per-Repository Backups
To view backups for a specific repository:
- Go to Repositories > GitHub or Repositories > Bitbucket.
- 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 button. Click it to open the Restore Wizard for that repository with the 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.
- Storage: Icons indicating which storages stored the backup snapshot (GitSec Storage & BYOS).
- Trigger: How the backup was initiated (On Demand, Scheduled, or Push Event).
- Timestamps: Start and finish times.
- Size: Total storage consumed.
