Why Upgrade from Manual Export

The RepoSafe Advantage

🤖

Set It and Forget It

GitHub's export is manual. RepoSafe runs continuously in the background - new repos are automatically included, backups happen on schedule.

📦

Complete Backup

GitHub export misses issues, PRs, wikis, and project boards. RepoSafe captures everything - your entire organization's institutional knowledge.

⏰

Point-in-Time Recovery

GitHub only exports current state. RepoSafe maintains history so you can restore to any previous backup point.

📋

Audit-Ready

Prove to auditors your backup policy is being followed with automated compliance reports and backup verification.
