GitHub ensures service availability
You ensure data recovery
GitHub operates under the "Shared Responsibility Model." They guarantee the platform stays online, but according to their Terms of Service, users are solely responsible for protecting their data content. If a developer force-pushes incorrectly or a rogue integration wipes a repo, GitHub won't bring it back.
The cloud is not
a magic place
GitHub:
Terms of Service
"GitHub will not be liable for any loss of data or content... You understand and agree that use of the service is at your own risk."
Why should you backup GitHub?
Reduce DevOps Workload No more messing around with complex backup scripting, never knowing if the backups are working
Platform Issues Ensure 24/7 access to your data even during service outages and downtime
Accidental Deletion Human error is the leading cause of data loss; protect against one-click permanent deletions
Legal & Compliance Meet strict ISO 27001, SOC2, and insurance requirements for independent data protection
Malicious Users Secure your workspace from intentional data destruction by departing or disgruntled employees
Business Continuity Don't lose years of development code and metadata that are critical to your organization
