The backup plan that you select for the GitHub app manages scheduled backups. You can also perform on-demand backups of repository groups at any time.
Backup Types
Full
Backs up all configured data in your repository group.
Incremental
Backs up only data that changed since the last backup. Faster and uses fewer API calls.
Important
Run a full backup first before using incremental backups.
Synthetic Full
Creates a new full backup by consolidating existing backups, without accessing GitHub. Improves restore performance and reduces backup versions.
