## Exclude specific directories from the backup
You can choose what should be backed up by adding the environment variable `SKIP`.
The available options are:
* `db`
* `uploads` (attachments)
* `repositories`
* `builds` (CI build output logs)
* `artifacts` (CI build artifacts)
* `lfs` (LFS objects)
* `pages` (pages content)
Use a comma to specify several options at the same time:
```
# use this command if you've installed GitLab with the Omnibus package
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create SKIP=db,uploads
# if you've installed GitLab from source
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create SKIP=db,uploads RAILS_ENV=production
```
## Upload backups to remote (cloud) storage ## Upload backups to remote (cloud) storage
Starting with GitLab 7.4 you can let the backup script upload the '.tar' file it creates. Starting with GitLab 7.4 you can let the backup script upload the '.tar' file it creates.
