How to restore multiple Azure DevOps and DevOps Server repository backup copies at once.
Recovering multiple Azure DevOps repositories simultaneously enables organizations to quickly restore only the selected repositories, ensuring consistent and reliable recovery across the development environment.
The following steps demonstrate how to restore multiple Azure DevOps repositories at once using Xopero ONE Management Service.
Get into the restore view using the following method:
Open the Azure DevOps tab (DevOps > Azure DevOps), then click the Explore button next to the organization whose backup you want to restore (explore icon in list view).
Go to the Repositories tab, select all repositories you want to restore, and then click Restore in the top menu.
Click every chosen repository to select the backup plan and copy from which you want to restore data, then click Next.
Select the destination for the recovery and click Next.
In Data to restore section at the top, click Edit and select data you want to restore.
In the Throttling prevention section, you can add additional DevOps organization accounts to avoid throttling.
Configure the recovery destination settings, depending on where the backup will be restored.
In Map organizations section, select the target organizations where the repositories will be restored.
In Restore settings, you can set custom names for all repositories or add a suffix to the original repository names.
After defining all parameters, click the Restore button to begin the recovery process. When the process is complete, a new project/repository/folder will be created in your organization/on your device. You can monitor the restoration process in the Tasks tab.
Adjust the bandwidth and other available settings, depending on the recovery destination.
Check which worker is set as the default for recovery and change it if necessary.
Select the destination device (a registered device).
Make sure the device where you want to restore data has the Git client added to the PATH environment variable. The PATH variable is usually configured automatically after Git installation (a system restart may be required) — if it isn’t, you will have to configure it manually.
Specify the restoration directory and configure other options (for example, whether to overwrite existing data or reduce bandwidth). If needed, you can create a new restoration folder on the selected drive from the Management Service level.
