Gitlab backup taking forever
The Gitlab rake backup in our local CE setup is taking forever to get it fully backed up.
Adding to the same, we are also unsure how the backup operation is performed. When the backup starts we have a list of files which gets created namely
- db
- repositories
- uploads.tar.gz(~1 GB)
- builds.tar.gz
- lfs.tar.gz 6.registry.tar.gz (~150 GB)
- backup_information.yml
- timestamp_gitlabbackup.tar (~200 GB)
but when the next day backup starts we see only the tar in comparatively lesser size than we actually expect (total size of 230~ GB) Is this how it supposed to happen?
Can you also explain the backup process? Do all these files compile to form a bigger tar?
