This article describes how to create a backup plan to back up your GitHub Enterprise repositories.
Login to XMS, open the Plans > Backup tab and click the Add plan button in the top bar.
Select GitHub from the list.
Select (or add) the GitHub Enterprise environment you want to include in the backup process, and choose the repositories to back up.
Specify a name for the backup plan.
Select the appropriate metadata that you want to back up. Here, you can also change the default worker, which is the device directly responsible for the backup process of your repositories.
Select one of the locations assigned to your Xopero ONE instance as storage.
Customize the scheduler and specify how long your data should be retained. If needed, adjust the advanced settings to suit your needs.
If necessary, adjust the advanced settings such as encryption, error handling, or bandwidth limits to fit your requirements.
Double-check your data and click Save to create the backup plan.
In Xopero ONE, you can select repositories based on custom properties, but these properties must be configured at the organization level in GitHub. During synchronization, Xopero ONE retrieves the property definitions from the organization and the assigned values from the repositories. After synchronization, the panel displays a list of all properties fetched from every organization on the GitHub side that was added to XMS. For the feature to work correctly, the token used for authorization must also include the read:org permission.
Optionally, Xopero ONE allows you to protect the entire GitHub Enterprise environment.
You can have multiple workers and assign different workers to each backup plan.
It is worth noting that the cloud worker (a cloud-installed Xopero ONE worker) allows you to perform cloud-to-cloud backups if you want to store your backups in the cloud.
