#Assuming Instance1 is the production instance and Instance2 is the newly set-up test instance

#From Instance1 
sudo gitlab-backup create

#copy the crearted backup to Instance2
# The backup can be found at /var/opt/gitlab/backups
scp "specific"_gitlab_backup.tar root@Instance2/opt/gitlab/backups

In the 2nd instance
#change ownership of backup file to git user
sudo chown git.git /var/opt/gitlab/backups/"specific"_gitlab_backup.tar
#stop puma and sidekiq
sudo gitlab-ctl stop puma
sudo gitlab-ctl stop sidekiq
#ncase you have only one backup you dont need to specify
sudo gitlab-backup restore BACKUP="specific"_gitlab_backup.tar

#From Instance1 
#Copy /etc/gitlab directory to Instance2
