Description

Since I didn't find a good place to ask questions, so here I came.

According to backup/restore sections in README.md, backup operation will backup all includes db and I also confirmed that from a backup tar, there is a db/ directory and a .sql file in it.

I'm using gitlab 7.9.2 and linked postgresql & redis with their own db volumes.

Now I'm trying to upgrade to gitlab 8.0.4 and wondering if I does restore from backup created by rake task, what will happen? does gitlab will re-write all db from the backup? or just use db in postgresql & redis?

Research direction

Start with the backup/restore sections in README.md and inspect the backup tar's db/ directory and SQL file. Determine how restoration behaves for the linked PostgreSQL and Redis volumes during the 7.9.2 to 8.0.4 upgrade, then document the confirmed behavior and any required steps.
