GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities v3.11.1

Bug Fixes

• On an instance with multiple nodes, backups failed silently if a node was offline or unavailable.
• When restoring a backup using the ghe-restore command, the restore operation could fail due to the root disk filling completely. [Updated 2024-02-29]

Changes

• When using GitHub Enterprise Server 3.9.10 or newer, 3.10.8 or newer, or 3.11.1 or newer, with a high availability (HA) configuration, you can backup the MySQL database from a HA replica by setting ghe-config mysql.backup.replica <replica-hostname> on your primary node. We recommend that replica-hostname resides in the same region as the backup host in order to reduce latency. [Updated 2024-03-01]
• When using GitHub Enterprise Server 3.9.10 or newer, or 3.11.1 or newer, with a cluster configuration, backup-utils will backup MySQL from one of the MySQL replica nodes instead of the primary node.

Backups and Disaster Recovery

• ghe-backup or ghe-restore commands could fail to delete progress files created by older versions of GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities.
