Too bad they don't make backups of users repositories?

They do infact create snapshots twice a day and keep them for two weeks.

GitLab is not a repository backup service. They are only required to hold multiple copies of what is the current version of the repository for their own hard drive fault tolerance purposes; they are not required to hold copies of the repository from a day, week, month, or year ago.

Was just a question, don't get me wrong here. Thought they would do this for their managed service.
