\n There are a number of different services that offer GitHub backup capabilities. Some of these are standalone services that you can use to create backups of your repositories, while others are integrated into other tools and services that you might already be using.\n
\n To use a GitHub backup service, you will typically need to provide the service with access to your GitHub account. This can typically be done by connecting your account to the service using your GitHub login credentials. Once your account is connected, you can then select the repositories that you want to back up and specify the backup schedule and other settings."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is there a limit to the amount of data I can back up with GitHub Backup?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We do not limit the amount of data you can backup.
