To install BackHub:
Next you manage repository access and permissions.
1. Grant access and permissions as appropriate.
Access. BackHub creates backups for all repositories you grant access to. If you grant access to "All repositories" then backups for all current and future repositories will be automatically created. If you want to backup only select repositories, choose "Only select repositories" and enter the names of the repositories you want to backup.
Permissions. BackHub requires read access to code. For backing up the metadata and to manage access to backups, read access to administration, issues, members, metadata, pull requests, and repository projects is also required.
