Hi Gurvinder,
I went through the changelog couple of times, apart from 'Replace
highlight.js with rouge-fork rugments (Stefan Tatschner)' which is in
7.8.0 didn't see anything which could disrupt the process.

Note - I am not much aware about Gitlab's internal architecture, this
is just what I could discern from reading the changelog.

As far as backups are concerned, it has to be at least weekly,
although there are FOSS solutions which can do daily to hourly backups
as well. As we are in the beginning of hamara, we cannot afford to
lose a month's work should something happen, so at the least weekly
backups are more than necessary. Have you tried BTRFS with RAID 6 (a
suggestion) ? That is supposed to be a good solution.

Rest is upto you or perhaps Vikas can also advise.
