Object storage support for incremental Git repository backups
Problem to solve
When using sudo gitlab-backup create
, backing up Git repositories is very slow, and the backup must be combined into a single tarball to be uploaded into object storage. This is impractical for all but the smallest instances
Further details
The SKIP=tar
option is currently incompatible with object storage.
Proposal
Add a new option to sudo gitlab-backup create
for a new incremental object storage backup mode for repositories.
