How do you backup your code / source control? (lemmy.zip)

Most companies rely on a SaaS based source control solution (GitHub, ADO, GitLabs, Codeberg, etc.). While this helps with issues are code loss from an individual POV (your laptop dies, you delete something). How do you back it up at scale should something happen to the service?

I know people, rightfully, joke about GitHub’s uptime, but what if it were to go hard down for an extended period of time?

So lemmings, how would you back up an organization’s source control?

Edit: a lot of people are focusing on personal or home. I’m wondering about corporate level without having on-premise resources.

I have a QNAP box at home, with Forgejo running as a container on it. It's pretty much a standard docker install straight from Forgejo's repository. It can run tests and a build on each push, which is not strictly necessary, but nice. Took me about half an hour to setup Forgejo, and about 4 hours of swearing setting up CI for a few repos, because I've never done it before.

This doesn't easily scale to a whole organisation's worth of repos like OP wants, but it easily fits a small business/single dev situation.
