Description

Would it be nice to receive a PR that contained a command to create a backup of gitlab?

eg...

backup:
  @echo "Creating backup"
  @docker-compose exec gitlab bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create

EDIT: Also, why is it advised to take gitlab offline before making backups?

Done means a Makefile target creates the backup and the relevant guidance is clarified.
