I have installed Gitlab using omnibus installation package.
I took a backup using below command
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create
Backup was successfully created. But I am not sure where to find the backup file. Where are all the Gitlab backups are stored by default..?
Best Answer
/var/opt/gitlab/backups
by default.https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/a64d0f79173301dd86db073e9b6a329b56554dbd/doc/raketasks/backup_restore.md says that:
Then https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/9e97671d8dee3ea6a7bbb99347ad279b65689f28/files/gitlab-cookbooks/gitlab/templates/default/gitlab.yml.erb#L208 says it uses the template variable
@backup_path
And https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/9e97671d8dee3ea6a7bbb99347ad279b65689f28/files/gitlab-cookbooks/gitlab/attributes/default.rb#L120 says:
I recommend that you clone GitLab omnibus and
git grep
away for other similar problems, and that you post gitlab questions on SO: it is accepted there and has much greater developer traffic.
