Multiple backup and restore activities from Linux installed Gitlab onto Kubernetes installed GitLab instance
Hello All,
We are working on migrating from Linux omnibus based installation to Kubernetes. We were able to migrate the data from linux instance to k8s instance with first backup and restore activities.
Scenario: We updated few projects and created new projects on currently running linux instance and taken latest backup and tried to restore it again on k8s instance (which already has the previously restored data).
This time restore rake task failed with note "backup already exists use --force or --continue ". I tried to delete the backup tar existing in /srv/gitlab/tmp/backup folder in task runner pod and tried again. This time it finishes the restore.
Is there any issue restoring latest backup onto the already restored k8s instance? Can anyone please provide any inputs
Thanks PRS
