Cloudback for Linear

Key Features

• •Automated Daily Backups: Cloudback automatically backs up your entire Linear workspace every day, including issues, projects, documents, cycles, comments, labels, templates, and embedded files. This eliminates manual exporting and ensures you always have a recent copy of your data.
• •One-Click Restore: Restore any Linear workspace data—individual issues, entire projects, or the full workspace—with a single click. The restore preserves all metadata and relationships, allowing teams to recover from accidental deletions or corruption in minutes.
• •Bring Your Own Storage: Choose where your backups are stored by connecting your own cloud storage account (AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud, OneDrive, Wasabi, etc.). This gives you full data sovereignty and control over backup costs and lifecycle.
• •Enterprise-Grade Encryption: All backup data is encrypted with AES-256. Optionally, use RSA Lockbox to manage your own encryption keys, ensuring only you can decrypt the backups. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, meeting strict security requirements.
• •Ransomware Protection: Protect your Linear data from ransomware with write-once-read-many (WORM) storage targets and air-gapped backups. Once written, backup files cannot be modified or deleted, safeguarding against malicious attacks.
• •Compliance and Auditing: Cloudback is SOC 2 compliant and provides a comprehensive audit log, immutability, and notification features. It integrates with Vanta and Drata, making it easy to demonstrate backup and data integrity for regulatory audits.
• •Infrastructure as Code: Automate backup configuration using Cloudback's Terraform provider. Version-control your backup policies alongside your other infrastructure, enabling reproducible and auditable backup setups for DevOps teams.

Use Cases

• •A product team accidentally deletes an important project containing dozens of issues and documents. Using Cloudback for Linear, an admin restores the entire project from the previous day's backup, recovering all data and associated comments without manual re-entry.
• •A Linear workspace becomes corrupted after a faulty integration. Cloudback's full workspace restore rolls back all issues, cycles, and projects to a known good state, minimizing downtime and enabling the team to resume work quickly.
• •A compliance officer needs to prove that Linear workspace data has been preserved unchanged for a SOC 2 audit. Cloudback's immutability and audit log provide tamper-proof evidence of backup integrity and restore history.
• •A company implements a ransomware defense strategy by routing Linear backups to WORM-compatible storage (e.g., AWS S3 Object Lock). Cloudback ensures that even if internal systems are compromised, backup files remain safe and recoverable.
• •A development team uses Cloudback's one-click restore to recover a deleted issue that contained critical bug reports and attachments. The restore is granular, allowing the team to recover exactly what was lost without affecting other workspace data.
• •An enterprise with strict data residency requirements stores Linear backups in their own Azure Blob storage region. Cloudback's bring your own storage feature allows them to maintain full control over backup location and retention.

Who is this for?

Cloudback for Linear is built for DevOps teams, engineering leads, and IT administrators who manage Linear workspaces and need automated data protection. It is also ideal for compliance officers in regulated industries who must demonstrate backup integrity and data governance.
