You could stop it, do a snapshot of the storage and backup that for <1 min of downtime probably.

But at the same time, if you're not a global company, doing it at 3am is probably fine.

It can be an issue if you are using gitlab as your container/package registry and production workloads need to pull from it, though.

		They should be pulling from a pull through scanning repository cache anyway, so they can be scanned before going into production.

Doing a snapshot of the storage while it's running wouldn't be bad either, it'd be like having cut the power at the point of the snapshot, right?
