Can I back up my DevOps organization outside of Microsoft Azure servers?


At the moment I have an organization in DevOps with several associated projects, the idea is to be able to protect my data due to internal backup policies, I understand that Microsoft has data redundancy between its datacenters but I want to make external backups and how they would be restored in case of a catastrophe.

Any feedback would be helpful, thank you very much. Additionally, I'm using Azure DevOps Services.


Solution

  • Unlike Azure DevOps Server/TFS, there is no built-in method to backup the data of organization on Azure DevOps Services. And there seems is no method/tool to backup the whole organization data at once.

    You can try to search whether there are any 3rd-party tools that can backup each individual service (Azure Repos, Azure Boards, Azure Pipelines, Azure Test Plans and Azure Artifacts) from Azure DevOps Services organization. You can try to search for some keywords like as "Backup Azure DevOps organization data" using Microsoft Bing or Google to look for the possible 3rd-party backup tools.

    Generally, the 3rd-party backup tools are not free, and you may need to pay for some licenses on the tools.
