Why would you not be able to use Github as a backup? Github keeps all the branches that are pushed to it, as any git repo.

If you have push access to the repository sure.

What if you don't have push access?

You don't give your employees push access to their repos?

[balls187]

By default, only admins have push access to all the repo's for an organization.

Everyone else, by default, has read-only access to the entire organizations private repos.

Each product team is allowed to specify how their own teams can access repos.

We also have 3rd party contractors and vendors work on portions, and they don't have push access.
