Backups: Update docs for backing up large architectures with instructions for server-side backups
Proposal
Server-side repository backups are now available.
We should update the Back up and restore large reference architectures documentation with guidance to use server-side backups as the recommended option instead of standing up an Ombnibus VM. The option to standup a Omnibus VM should be presented as a secondary option.
Why
We want to make this change for several reasons:
- Server-side backups avoid intermediate storage and processing by pushing the backup directly from the Gitaly nodes to object storage
- Server-side backups remove the need to standup an additional Omnibus node that is not not part of the prescribed reference architecture
