@@ -11,13 +11,13 @@ You can only restore a backup to exactly the same version of GitLab that you cre
on, for example 7.2.1. The best way to migrate your repositories from one server to
another is through backup restore.
You need to keep
a separate copy of
`/etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json`
(for
omnibus packages) or
`/home/git/gitlab/config/secrets.yml`
(for installations
from source). This file contains the database encryption keys used for
two-factor authentication and project import credentials, among other things. If
you restore a GitLab backup without restoring the database encryption key, users
w
ho have two-factor authentication enabled will lose access to your GitLab
server.
