Backup GitLab


bundle exec rake RAILS_ENV=production gitlab:backup:create

The backup will should be created and located here.

/home/git/gitlab/tmp/backups

something like

3407151110_gitlab_backup.tar

Download this file and restore it to the another sever to ensure you have a good backup. A backup that hasn’t been tested is not a backup at all.

To restore a backup

bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
