Support backup on (mounted) network shares
Hello,
we have been using GitLab for the past few months. Everything runs fine so far!
Unfortuneatley one of the latest updates broke our backup strategy. We would like to create GitLab's backup on a network share, which if periodically saved to an external location.
Therefore we configured our GitLab server the following way. This worked fine for the last few months.
- Mount a network share to
/opt/gitlab/backup
via fstab - Run a cronjob with
gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create
every night
But commit 67c83489 changed line 19 in lib/backup/manager.rb
to FileUtils.chmod(0700, folders_to_backup)
. This command fails on the mounted network share and the backup is not created.
Therefore we would be very happy, if you could support backup on network shares officially. The alternative would be to create the GitLab backup locally and copying it to the network share afterwards.
