Question Options for backing up Unity DevOps Cloud

Hi there. We've been using Plastic SCM/Unity DevOps Cloud for years very happily. But in a recent audit of our suppliers, we have a requirement to have backups either locally or with secondary services.

I've been reading the guide about gitsync and thought this might be a possible solution, to keep a copy of our full repositories on GitHub, even if it means I need to have a manual job once a month or once a week to copy back to Git. But I can't find the Sync option in the version we're using (11.0.16.8204). The menu options don't match the guide at https://docs.plasticscm.com/gitsync/plastic-scm-version-control-gitsync-guide#PushingtoGit

I wondered about creating a sync to a local repository, but I'm not really sure how to go about that, and if that too would be a manual process each week or month.

Is there some solution you already have that I've not found?

Basically we need the full content and history retained (or at least the last 12/24 months), so that if anything happens to Unity or Unity Cloud or - and of course this would never happen - Unity suddenly changes the licensing requirements against our wishes - we don't lose all of our historical work. As such, a backup to GitHub is my preferred solution.

 

Thanks for the reply and for tracking down where that option is now. But when I try it I get a "The credentials introduced are not valid".

My github account has 2FA, so I've tried setting up a separate account, with a brand new repository, and it still fails, even though I know the username, password and URL are correct. Is there some other step required that isn't listed in the guide? My repo is private rather than public, but I also need to keep it that way.

 

Thanks for that. For anyone else looking at this thread, the username is the normal GitHub login username, and the token value is the password.
