## Converting a GitLab backup file from MySQL to Postgres
**Note:** Please make sure to have Python 2.7.x (or higher) installed.
GitLab backup files (<timestamp>_gitlab_backup.tar) contain a SQL dump. Using the lanyrd database converter we can replace a MySQL database dump inside the tar file with a Postgres database dump. This can be useful if you are moving to another server.
