README.md may be out-of-date

[ragaar]

I don't believe the README.md is reflective of the most recent changes shown in Gitlab's documentation.

I am not using docker-compose, but I have observed errors when attempting to restore using only the EPOCH. The command I am using was illustrated below with docker exec.

In GitLab 9.2 the timestamp format was changed; from EPOCH_YYYY_MM_DD to EPOCH_YYYY_MM_DD_GitLab version.

When running docker exec -it $CONTAINER /sbin/entrypoint.sh app:rake gitlab:backup:restore BACKUP=$BACKUP requires the $BACKUP variable to be defined in the v9.2+ format.

This appears to differ from the commands cited within README.md, in section #restoring-backups. The README.md presents BACKUP=1417624827 which appears to only identify the EPOCH. I haven't been able to restore backups using only the EPOCH for quite a few versions.

Why did you close this ?

Someone's idea of a practical joke ._. Trying to find a copy of what I had written, to repost and reopen.

Feel free to make an Pull Request for this 😏 .

Thanks! Phew! Yeah, I was considering doing a PR once I determined if this was accurate. Need to DL docker-compose, and it's restricted on the machine I'm currently working from.

Note for myself (or anyone interested), This also ties into: assets/runtime/functions#L1643 and docs/s3_compatible_storage#restoring-backups

Trying to go back and clean up issues that are open or pending. I've had to relocate and access to the work that I had been performing is currently inaccessible.

Given my appreciation of this library, I'll try and catch up on what I had been doing and see if I can clean up the documentation over the remainder of this week.
