I'm running docker exec -t <container name> gitlab-backup create, as I'm using the docker version of gitlab. I've used the SKIP=tar option, as I'm using an external backup tool where tar would be harmful (as the docs call out).

From the docs;

Adding tar to the SKIP variable leaves the files and directories containing the backup in the directory used for the intermediate files.

Except I see no mention of where this actually is. Can this please be added to the documentation?
