SOFTWARE BACKUPS · Workflow idea

Know what was backed up, what was kept, and what needs attention.

Create a regular archive of the repositories your team owns, remove copies that have passed the retention period, and send a report that makes successes and problems visible.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

The nightly backup time selected by your team

“Create dated archives of the selected repositories, keep them for the configured retention period, and send a summary of the run.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Reviews the selected repositories on a nightly schedule, stores dated archive copies in the chosen secure destination, removes copies outside the retention period, and emails a run summary.

  1. Select repositories to protect

    Identify the repositories the team owns and confirm that the backup account can access the intended private and public projects.

  2. Create dated archive copies

    Save a separate archive for each selected repository during the agreed nightly backup window.

  3. Apply the retention period

    Identify archives older than the retention limit and remove only the copies covered by that rule.

  4. Summarize the backup run

    Count successful archives, skipped empty repositories, failures, and removed expired copies.

  5. Send the team a report

    Email the run summary to the person or team responsible for investigating any backup failures.

  6. Review any exceptions

    Check failures and unexpected skips so the team can confirm that important repositories remain protected.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A set of dated repository archives, expired copies removed according to the retention rule, and an email summary of successful, skipped, failed, and removed archives.

The handoff

A set of dated repository archives, expired copies removed according to the retention rule, and an email summary of successful, skipped, failed, and removed archives.

Keep in mind

Check the access scope, archive destination, and retention period carefully. The run report describes the recorded outcome; investigate failures before treating a repository as safely backed up.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the repositories and archive destination

List the repositories to include, select a dedicated storage location, and confirm the required access is limited to backup work.

Set a retention policy

Choose how long dated copies should be retained and check the policy before allowing older archives to be removed.

Choose the report recipient

Set the responsible person or team who should receive and act on the backup summary.

Review the schedule and test

Set the nightly run time, complete a test backup, and confirm both the stored archive and the emailed report.
