Best way to back up all BitBucket repositories?

[Juho Vainio]

I'm thinking of backing up all our company's BitBucket repositories to some offline backup.

The reason for this is that all the repositories are basically under one account and if that account is compromised, then all the repos can be accidentially deleted and the delete operation cannot be undone.

What would you consider the best way to easily (automatically) back up all our repositories?

Hi @Juho Vainio,

There have been various threads on this topic in the past. Let me share a couple here, but there are definitely more.

For example, this recent one:

And this one containing more links:

- https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Bitbucket-automatic-backup-solutions/qaq-p/271138

I've just tagged some of the previous answers with the "bitbucket-cloud-backup" tag and you can see the list here:
