Group recovery
In this article, you will learn how to restore data from a GitLab group backup.
Recovery process
Get into the restore view using the following method:
Open the GitLab tab (DevOps > GitLab), then click the Groups button next to the organization whose backup you want to restore.

Search for the repository you want to restore, and click the Restore button in the action menu of that repository.

Next, select the backup plan from which you want to restore data. Click AVAILABLE PLANS and choose one of the plans from the list.

Choose the backup version from all the backups that have already been performed — select the desired date and click the Restore button.

Choose the data you want to restore, or use the default settings.

In the next aside, click Edit next to Data to restore if you need to adjust it.

Next, select the destination where you want to restore the data.
There is no option to restore GitLab groups to other Git providers — they can only be restored between GitLab environments.

In Restore settings you can set a custom name for the repository that will be created during the restore process and limit the internet bandwidth.

In Device used to restore the data section, choose the device that will be responsible for performing the restoration.
Cloud worker (cloud-installed Xopero ONE worker) allows you to perform cloud-to-cloud backups if you want to store your backups in the cloud.

After defining all parameters, click the Start now button to begin the restore process. When the process is complete, a new repository will be created in your organization account.
