Automatic daily backups and restores for GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Linear. Git backups capture repositories, metadata, and LFS; Linear backups capture the whole workspace - issues, projects, cycles, documents, and more. Store them in Cloudback Managed Storage or customer-managed storage (Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud, Wasabi, and more). AES-256 encryption with customer-managed keys (RSA Lockbox). SOC 2 Type II compliant. 1.7k+ customers, 14k+ repositories, 4M+ backups.

Cloudback for Linear
Launched this week
Cloudback runs automated, snapshot-based backups for Linear workspaces, GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps. Linear capture covers 23 data categories: issues, projects, cycles, documents, comments, attachments, embedded files, and the workspace structure itself. Restore in dependency order from any backup, into a new target workspace. AES-256 with optional customer-managed keys (RSA Lockbox). SOC 2 Type II compliant. 1.7k+ customers, 14k+ repositories, 4M+ backups.

Hi PH 👋, I'm one of the makers of Cloudback. Today I'm bringing our Linear backup support to PH, because Linear is now where a lot of teams keep their full product context - issues, project decisions, cycle history, planning docs. Losing that overnight is a real risk, and Linear's native export only covers the issues table.
Here's what Cloudback does for a Linear workspace:
- Captures 23 data categories per workspace, including issues, projects, cycles, documents, custom views, initiatives, templates, comments, attachments, embedded files, workflow states, labels, teams, members, and the workspace structure itself.
- Restores the full workspace, not just a data dump - issues, projects, comments, and the structure all come back in the right order.
- Snapshot-based backup. Pick any backup, point it at an empty Linear workspace, confirm.
👥 Who it is built for:
- Engineering and product teams running their whole roadmap in Linear.
- Security and compliance teams that need backup evidence for SOC 2 audits.
- Founders who'd lose months of context if a workspace got wiped.
🔒 Security:
- AES-256 archives, customer-managed encryption keys via RSA Lockbox.
- SOC 2 Type II compliant.
- Cloudback Managed Storage in five regions, or bring your own storage across Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud, OneDrive, Wasabi, Alibaba OSS, and OpenStack Swift.
- Audit log, Vanta integration, and many more.
Every plan starts with a free trial, so you can run a full backup and a restore drill before paying anything.
💬 Happy to answer any questions!
the restore into a new target workspace capability is interesting for a use case that isn't immediately obvious: workspace cloning for onboarding. if you're a consultant setting up Linear for a new client with the same structure as an existing engagement, or an agency that wants to give new clients a starting template with real workflow data, restore to a new workspace becomes a setup tool not just a disaster recovery tool. is that a use case you've seen emerge from your existing customers
Cloudback
@ansari_adin We built restore-into-a-new-workspace for disaster recovery, but you're right that the same mechanism doubles as a setup tool - point a backup at an empty workspace and you've effectively cloned the structure and workflow data. One nuance: it restores the workspace as it was, real data included, so for a clean client template you'd either scrub the source first or keep a purpose-built "template" workspace to back up.
Backup-and-restore is one of those things nobody values until the day they desperately do, which is exactly why it's a hard sell and an easy thing to under-price. The critique above about pricing clarity is the real one.
From a product-team angle: the question I'd want answered on the page isn't "do you back up Linear," it's "how fast and how granular is restore." If someone fat-fingers a bulk archive, can I recover one project to a point in time, or is it all-or-nothing? Recovery granularity is the actual product, the backup is just the prerequisite. Worth leading with that, because it's also what justifies the price.
Cloudback
@vimal_ajit You're right on all counts. To answer directly: today restore is whole-workspace into an empty target - you restore from any snapshot, but it's not yet per-project or selective. Granular restore - pulling back a single project or item - is on our roadmap.
Cloudback
@hex_miller_bakewell Good question! It's one backup of the whole workspace, not per user - member count just scales it with how much is in there (issues, projects, docs, comments). Example: a 10-member workspace works out to 30 units - the first 5 members are 2 units each, the next 5 are 4 each. Every plan starts with a free trial, so you can connect the workspace and see your exact units and price before paying.
The restore-in-dependency-order detail is useful. Linear holds roadmap context beyond issues, so a dry-run restore before paying is a smart trust step. Can teams preview how projects, cycles, docs, and comments map before restoring into a new workspace?
Cloudback
@xuanlin Totally get wanting to see it first. We don't have a preview yet, but the trial period of any paid plan basically lets you test the whole thing: spin up an empty workspace, restore into it, and check how everything came across.
Linear backups are one of those things teams only realize they need after something goes wrong. The dependency-order restore sounds especially important. Can teams restore selectively, like a project or document set, without cloning the whole workspace?
Cloudback
@sarveshsea Thank you. The selective restore is not yet available, but we have it planned!

@zhen_han for getting context from Linear, you can use Linear MCP, it's better for operating Linear via LLM.
Cloudback
@zhen_han Good question - it's snapshot-based, not real-time. Backups run on a schedule (daily by default, or weekly/monthly/custom, and you pick the time and time zone). You can also take an on-demand backup anytime - it's literally one click - so right before a risky migration you can grab a fresh snapshot. Your recovery point is your most recent scheduled or manual backup.
