Gitbackups review
Daily hosted Git backups start at $9/month, but self-serve restore is still coming soon.

Gitbackups is a cloud service for backing up hosted Git repositories and related data. It is aimed at teams that want repository code, issues, pull requests, wikis, metadata, and Git LFS copied into managed or customer-provided storage. Daily automated backups are available across the listed plans, while on-demand snapshots are reserved for Team. Its focus is preservation of repository content rather than a broad set of development workflow tools.
The published monthly plans are Starter at $9, Pro at $19, and Team at $39. Starter includes 10 GB of managed storage and email support. Pro adds the choice of managed storage or bringing your own storage, with priority email and chat support. Team also offers that storage choice, adds on-demand backups, and includes priority support and Slack. Retention is configurable, and the service describes an immutable storage option. The plans are organized around repository count, storage, and retention, so buyers should compare those requirements against their intended backup scope.
Recovery is the main consideration before choosing Gitbackups. The service describes point-in-time recovery and restoration to a sandbox or new account, but self-serve restore is marked as coming soon on the pricing page. That makes its current recovery proposition less straightforward than its backup coverage: teams should assess whether the available restore process meets their recovery needs before relying on it. Gitbackups fits budget-conscious teams seeking hosted daily backups and metadata coverage, especially where configurable retention or customer-owned storage matters. Teams that require self-serve restoration now, or on-demand snapshots without the Team plan, should consider alternatives.
