Adding GitHub Enterprise organization to Xopero ONE

Integrating a GitHub Enterprise organization with Xopero ONE allows centralized backup and management of all repositories within the selected GitHub environment. Once the organization is connected, administrators can set backup schedules, apply retention policies, organize repositories into groups, and monitor synchronization status and backup times directly from the dashboard to ensure consistent protection and compliance with data security policies.

Important notice

Integration with GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server in Xopero ONE is only possible through a personal access token (PAT).

Additionally, if a GitHub Enterprise Cloud organization with data residency includes managed users with SSO enabled, the token must be authorized. Although authorizing the token in a single organization allows Xopero ONE to retrieve all organizations, we recommend authorizing each one you intend to protect. Token authorization is also required in any organization to which you plan to restore data.

Integration process

The below steps demonstrate how to quickly integrate a GitHub Enterprise organization with Xopero ONE using Xopero ONE Management Service.

1

Open the DevOps tab on the left side of the window and select GitHub from the list.

2

Click Connect under the appropriate GitHub Enterprise instance type (GitHub Enterprise Server or GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency).

If you already have a GitHub Enterprise organization added, click the + Add new button in the top-left corner first.

3

In Settings, enter the GitHub Enterprise service address and add or select a personal access token (PAT) from the Password Manager.

4

Choose whether Xopero ONE should automatically add new repositories to your backup.

5

Configure the repository synchronization and the default worker. Specify the synchronization start time or set a time interval for automatic updates.

6

Click Proceed to complete the process of adding your GitHub Enterprise organization and grant Xopero ONE access to the specified resources.

7

Your GitHub Enterprise organization has been successfully added to Xopero ONE. Click Custom policy to modify the backup policy settings, or click Run backup to start the backup immediately using the current policy configuration.
