Enforcing GitHub Repository Backups with Rubrik and GitHub Actions

Your CI pipeline enforces tests, security scans, and policy checks before code hits production. But your backups? Still running on a schedule, completely disconnected from your deployments.

In this video, I'll walk you through how to use Rubrik's powerful APIs to build what I'm calling "Backup as Code": a GitHub Action that triggers an on-demand Rubrik snapshot of your GitHub repository every time code is merged into the main branch. We'll look at the action code, wire it up to a live repo, and watch the whole thing run end to end.

If a failed test can block a merge, a failed backup should too.
