Git Backup
The Git Backup feature automatically backs up Intelligence Hub configuration to a Git repository. The backup is stored as a single JSON file and can be used by Git Deployment Integration.
Manual backups can be performed when the backup mode is set to Manual or Scheduled. During manual or scheduled backups, changes to the hub configuration are pushed to the specified branch of the repository. When there are no changes since the previous backup, no commit is pushed. The commit message differentiates scheduled and manual backups. For manual backups, the Intelligence Hub user must have Settings:execute_write permission and the commit message will contain the user that performed the backup. See Users and Roles for more information.
Git Backup settings support the use of System and Environment references. Changes to System Variables will be detected automatically and cause the Git Backup schedule to be restarted. See System Variables and Environment Variables for more information.
