GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities v3.8.5

Bug Fixes

• On an instance with multiple nodes, backups failed silently if a node was offline or unavailable.
• 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.

Backups and Disaster Recovery

• During backups using a version of Backup Utilities 3.8, the log displayed the following warning: management console argon2 secret not set.
• For better compatibility across Linux distributions, the host operating system version displayed in output is obtained from /etc/os-release.

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.

GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities v3.10.2

Bug Fixes

• When using GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities, a host check will test the availability of all nodes before running any operations on them and output a warning if a node is unreachable. Previously if a node was unreachable the host check could silently fail.
• When using GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities, user permissions assigned to the temporary progress files in /tmp have been updated to allow access by other users. Previously, having backup and restore operations performed by different users could cause failed deletion error messages for temporary files.
• 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.

GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities v3.9.4

Bug Fixes

• 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. This bug fix will ship in backup-utils v3.9.5. [Updated 2024-01-17]
