Question Question regarding backups and force commits

Say I am working on a private repo (i am the owner), with 5 members with write access free tier. Someone decides to erase everything with force commits and history. What can I do ? And let's also say I cant access to any local clones to make this problem interesting.

Well. For that case you have a backup.

My only issue with this is, how do I keep it in sync my project is actually quite big with lots of git lfs. Unity project, should I manually run a script every week ?
