Git Replica writes encrypted Git archives to your choice of cloud storage. Choose what fits your team, budget, and compliance requirements — not ours.
Picking a backup service that forces a single storage backend trades one lock-in for another. Git Replica supports the four storage services most teams already use — so your backups live where you already have budget, governance, and audit coverage.
The industry standard for durable object storage.
Enterprise-grade, tightly integrated with Microsoft cloud.
Familiar, easy, great for small teams and individuals.
Works with existing Microsoft 365 accounts.

Pick the region your archives live in to match data residency requirements.
Scheduled test restores verify your backups actually work — not just that they wrote.
S3, Azure Blob, Google Drive, or OneDrive.
OAuth or access-key authorization — no shared credentials.
Daily, weekly, monthly — tuned per repository.
Every backup automatically lands in your chosen storage.
Yes. Git Replica writes archives directly into your connected storage account — S3 bucket, Azure Blob container, Google Drive folder, or OneDrive directory. The storage consumed counts against your quota and is billed by your storage provider at their standard rates. Git Replica does not charge separately for storage volume. For Google Drive and OneDrive users on paid Workspace or Microsoft 365 plans, the quota included is typically large enough to accommodate many repository archives without extra cost.
Yes. Git Replica supports configuring more than one archive target per repository or globally. A common pattern is to set a primary destination such as Amazon S3 for durability and compliance, and a secondary destination such as OneDrive for free-tier redundancy. Both destinations receive the same encrypted archive on each backup run. Multiple destinations are available on Team and Enterprise plans.
On Starter and Team plans, Git Replica manages encryption keys on your behalf using AES-256-GCM, with keys stored encrypted in our key management system and tied to your account. On Enterprise plans, you can supply your own encryption keys (customer-managed keys, or CMK). In both cases, keys never leave your account context and are never visible to Git Replica staff. Per-archive integrity tags ensure any tampering with the archive is detectable at restore time.
Yes. Archives are stored in standard git bundle format and encrypted with AES-256-GCM using standard, auditable primitives. You can decrypt an archive using the Git Replica CLI tool or directly with OpenSSL and your exported key. Once decrypted, any git client can read the bundle. This means you are never locked in to Git Replica's platform to access your own backup data.
No. Git Replica writes archives exclusively to the cloud storage you have authorized. We do not retain a copy in our own infrastructure after the write is confirmed. The only data Git Replica stores about archives is metadata: timestamps, sizes, checksums, and retention policy state. This architecture ensures your repository contents remain under your control at all times.
Amazon S3 Standard storage costs approximately $2.30 per month for 100 GB of stored data, plus egress fees when archives are downloaded for restore. Microsoft Azure Blob Storage costs approximately $2.10 per month for 100 GB at the LRS tier. Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive storage is typically included with existing Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 subscriptions, meaning the marginal cost for 100 GB of archive storage is often zero if you already pay for those plans. For teams without existing Google or Microsoft subscriptions, S3 and Azure represent better-documented durability guarantees at modest cost.
