### Restore for installation from source
First, ensure your backup tar file is in the backup directory described in the
`gitlab.yml` configuration:
```yaml
## Backup settings
backup:
path: "tmp/backups" # Relative paths are relative to Rails.root (default: tmp/backups/)
```
The default is `/home/git/gitlab/tmp/backups`, and it needs to be owned by the `git` user. Now, you can begin the backup procedure:
```shell
# Stop processes that are connected to the database
sudo service gitlab stop
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
```
