Does Gitlab 8 automatically backup the LFS-Objects folder?


Large file storage (Git-LFS) was introduced with Gitlab 8. I upgraded and activated it - but does Gitlab automatically backup the lfs_storage_path when I invoke /opt/gitlab/bin/gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create? Or do I need to do that manually? Thanks, couldn't find a definitive answer via search / documentation!


Solution

  • In GitLab 8.2, (the latest stable right now) the lfs files are included in the backup. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/8-2-stable/lib/backup/lfs.rb
