Bitbutcket Download

[Daniel Painter]

Looking for a way to save our Bitbucket data/environment - so wondering if there is a backup or download process.

Company is going through a small hibernation; trying to cut down all costs for next 6-months.

Want to understand if there is a way to download or backup our Bitbucket environment so we can temporarily close our account. But have a way to reload our environment / saved data back into Bitbucket when we get going again.

Thank you

Hy Daniel

If you just use the number of accounts for the standard plan, you could reduce the number of accounts under 5. I imagine you will not need the build minutes in this 6-months, but don't know about the file storage.
This way you could still leave Bitbucket open, but need to introduce all the accounts again in 6 months. At least all your other settings were preserved.

Best regards

Hi Daniel,

I just wanted to add to Lukas' reply that you'll also need to downgrade your workspace's plan to the Free one, after you remove users, so that you don't get charged.

Bitbucket doesn't have a way of automatically downloading all your data. You can get the core Git repo by running a git clone with the --mirror flag for each repo, but this is not going to download metadata like pull requests, comments, etc.

Removing users from your workspace so that it has up to 5 users, and then downgrading the billing plan to Free is going to keep all your workspace data. And when you are ready to get going again, you can upgrade the billing plan and add more users.

A workspace's billing plan can be changed the following way:

1. Go this page: https://bitbucket.org/account/workspaces/
2. Select Manage for the workspace you want to check that info for. The Manage link is only visible if you are a workspace admin.
3. Select Plan details from the left sidebar.
4. On this page, you will see an option to change the billing plan.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora
