As daily Jira users, the GitProtect Team experiences the platform’s pros and cons firsthand. A recent notification from Atlassian about data loss was a sharp reminder of digital fragility. Without GitProtect, our enterprise-grade backup solution, the loss could potentially turn into a critical data incident. Let’s see what happened and how we responded.

There’s no infrastructure that’s always on and immune to all kinds of threats. Even the top providers leave a tiny margin in their Service Level Agreements (SLA), stating 99.999% uptime at most. The cloud, advertised as the universal cure for the problems of legacy on-premises setups, also turned out vulnerable. The most obvious and impactful manifestations of cloud vulnerability are cloud outages.

The huge news is coming: GitProtect is the first solution on the market to support the backup of the GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency environments. The launch of version 2.2.0 also brings more secure and efficient AES-GCM encryption, a refreshed dashboard, a new onboarding experience, support for Azure DevOps related work links, and much more. Let’s dive into all the new features.

Backups are as good as the testing carried out to check effectiveness. Key aspects to consider when verifying GitHub backup effectiveness include: Has all data been covered and successfully backed up? Is the frequency of backup appropriate? Are recovery procedures correctly implemented? Read on as we shed more light on testing GitHub backups. Find out more about backup testing best practices, the issues that may arise, how to address them and why backup verification is so important.

What can bring together development and operation teams better than DevOps, a prevalent agile methodology? It involves new management principles, cultural change, and technology tools that boost the team’s development, collaboration, and productivity while they cooperate on software development.
