I upgraded to 8.8.1-ce.0 on Ubuntu Trusty; after that, the backup rake task failed:

rake aborted!
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ realpath_rec - /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry
/opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/lib/backup/files.rb:9:in `realpath'

Tasks: TOP => gitlab:backup:registry:create
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

The directory /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry does not exist -- I guess that's the reason for the failure. After I created the directory, the backup succeeded. I see two options:

• The upgrade script should take care of creating that path.
• The backup task should check if that path exists.
