How to Backup and Restore Azure DevOps?

Azure DevOps does not offer a native full backup or restore feature for repositories, pipelines, or other resources. However, you can back up your repositories using Git, and for pipelines, you can export and import pipeline definitions using the Azure DevOps REST API or the Azure CLI.

For a more comprehensive backup, consider using third-party tools or scripts to automate the export of your data. Restoration would typically involve reconfiguring pipelines and re-importing code.

For Azure DevOps Backup and Restore, there is no built-in backup solution, but you can use Git for backing up repositories and Azure DevOps REST API to manage pipeline configurations.

Here’s an example of how you can back up repositories using Git:

# Clone your Azure DevOps repository to create a backup 
git clone 
https://.visualstudio.com//_git/
# To push it to a different remote (backup location) 
git remote add backup 
git push --all backup

For pipeline backup, you can export and restore using Azure CLI or the REST API.
