GitHub Enterprise Server Backup Utilities v3.8.4

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 v3.8.5. [Updated 2024-01-17]
