Git backups: how often, and how to restore

Every repository in Belov Git is backed up automatically — every branch, every tag and the full history — encrypted and stored away from the Git server itself. How often depends on your hosting plan, and restoring needs nothing but Git.

1. 1
   Front

   Weekly, keeping the last 4 backups.
2. 2
   Pro and Full-stack

   Daily, keeping 14 days.
3. 3
   Scale

   Daily, keeping 30 days.

A repository that hasn't changed since its last backup isn't copied again — its latest backup is still exactly your code. Each backup is a git bundle: one file holding the whole repository. Issues, pull requests and settings live in the Git service itself and are covered by our own nightly backup of the whole service.

1. 1
   Download

   On the panel's Git page, each repository shows its latest backup with a download link.
2. 2
   Restore

   Clone the file like any repository, then push it wherever you need it — back into Belov Git under a new name, or anywhere else.

git clone my-project-2026-10-17.bundle my-project
cd my-project
git remote set-url origin git@git.belov.cloud:your-org/my-project-restored.git
git push origin --all
git push origin --tags
