## Backup
You should strongly consider running GitLab pages under a different hostname
than GitLab to prevent XSS.
Pages are part of the regular backup so there is nothing to configure.

- Pages asynchronous worker use `dd` to limit the unpacked tar size
- Pages are part of backups
- Pages notify the deployment status using Commit Status API
- Pages use a new sidekiq queue: pages
