+A number of self-service tools exist that automate backups of repositories. Unlike archival projects, which archive _all_ public repositories on {% data variables.product.product_name %} that have not opted out and make the data accessible to anyone, backup tools will download data from _specific_ repositories and organize it within a new branch or directory. For more information about archival projects, see "[About archiving content and data on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}](/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/about-archiving-content-and-data-on-github#about-the-github-archive-program)." For more information about self-service backup tools, see the [Backup Utilities category on {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}](https://github.com/marketplace?category=backup-utilities).
