GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities

This repository includes backup and recovery utilities for GitHub Enterprise Server.

UPDATE: The new parallel backup and restore beta feature will require GNU awk and moreutils to be installed.

Note: the GitHub Enterprise Server version requirements have changed starting with Backup Utilities v2.13.0, released on 27 March 2018.

Features

Backup Utilities implement a number of advanced capabilities for backup hosts, built on top of the backup and restore features already included in GitHub Enterprise Server.

Complete GitHub Enterprise Server backup and recovery system via two simple utilities:
ghe-backup and ghe-restore.
Online backups. The GitHub appliance need not be put in maintenance mode for the duration of the backup run.
Incremental backup of Git repository data. Only changes since the last snapshot are transferred, leading to faster backup runs and lower network bandwidth and machine utilization.
Efficient snapshot storage. Only data added since the previous snapshot consumes new space on the backup host.
Multiple backup snapshots with configurable retention periods.
Backup commands run under the lowest CPU/IO priority on the GitHub appliance, reducing performance impact while backups are in progress.
Runs under most Linux/Unix environments.
