GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities v3.11.0

Bug Fixes

• ghe-backup-myql and ghe-restore-mysql will now exit 1 on errors.
• On an instance with Actions enabled, incorrect backup and restore settings prevented the storage container name from being restored. This made the logs from that container inaccessible, and caused Actions to create a new storage container in a different location.
• When backups are run for HA instances in both primary and replica nodes a .sync-in-progress file will be created. This will disable NetworkMaintenance jobs from running and queueing up when backups are running from the primary node.

Changes

• Estimated transfer sizes will be calculated on appropriate nodes for clustered environments.
• Added support for finding the parallel command from the moreutils tool suite on more Linux distributions, including Arch Linux and Alpine Linux.
• ghe-restore avoids unnecessary rsync operations when restoring to non-clustered environments.
• ghe-backup and ghe-restore output their total runtime
• rsync compression is now disabled by default. The -z flag has been removed from the ghe-rsync command in multiple files to improve transfer speed and reduce CPU usage. To enable rsync compression globally, add GHE_RSYNC_COMPRESSION_ENABLED=yes to the backup.config file.
• Updates the Host OS version output to use /etc/os-release for better compatibility with other Linux distributions.

Backups and Disaster Recovery

• When a NFS mount is detected for snapshots on backup hosts, backup logs will show a warning to notify the user that such a setup may incur performance issues as highlighted in storage requirements documentation.
