Backup fails with "Permission denied" error
Hello,
I'm desperately getting this error while trying to backup my gitlab setup. It's a from source installation.
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
WARNING: This installation of GitLab uses a deprecated syntax for 'config/database.yml'. The support for this syntax will be removed in 15.0. More information can be found here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/338182
