I got 6.6.5 installed in a VM, I restored the back up to that. I upgraded it to 7.1.0 then upgraded that to 8.0.1. I created a backup on that version and rsynced it to the new server. Now when I try to to a backup starts restoring the repositories, but fails on a wiki and the whole thing stops.
Is there a way to skip the wikis? Thats not really a feature we use. so its not important if we lose that data. I have tried deleting the wiki in the gitlab VM, but it is is still included in the backup. SKIP=wiki or SKIP=wikis doesn't work either. Any help is greatly appreciated.
