This is the fact that deserves more attention. The operator did a manual backup before work which was the only available one.

I find this to be an eye opener. The real problem was dodged by doing the right thing in the proverbial last minute (6 hours).

In other words, there is an alternate universe in which Gitlab is now categorically dead, all because that employee didn't make that single backup.
