I really like Unfuddle. The service is easy to use, and there are a lot of great features in there. The documentation is… lacking, however.
One of the things I like is the ability to get a full backup of all my project data, repositories, etc in a single tarball. You can even ask them to keep a copy in your own S3 account.
To create a backup do the following
1) log into Unfuddle and goto the Project page.
2) Click the ‘settings’ tab then
3) Scroll down till you see link that says ‘Request a backup of this project now’ link. Click it.
In a few moments you’ll get an email, and you’ll see a new link on the right hand side of your project settings page that includes a timestamped backup. This backup is a tarball that contains all the GIT repositories and some other files like a backup.xml file which looks like all your tickets.
To use the git dumps run the following
mkdir reponame cd reponame git init git fast-import < ../my-unfuddle-backup.git.dmp git checkout master
You’re done!
If you’re using subversion repositories there is documentation on how to use these repo backups on Unfuddles website.
