Use:

/var/backups

When running my update Bash script:

VERSION=1.19.1
cd /usr/local/bin/
wget https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/download/v$VERSION/gitea-$VERSION-linux-amd64 -O newgitea
chmod +x newgitea
mv newgitea gitea
killall gitea # use `;` if used as a single line
sudo -u gitea GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea/ nohup /usr/local/bin/gitea web -c /etc/gitea/app.ini &

Don't forget to compress /var/lib/gitea/.
/etc/gitea/ could be backed up as well.

Note that backing up is especially important when update contains breaking change.

Could investigate rsnapshot possibility. Otherwise the Bash script:

VERSION=1.19.1
cd /usr/local/bin/
wget https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/download/v$VERSION/gitea-$VERSION-linux-amd64 -O newgitea
chmod +x newgitea
mv newgitea gitea
killall gitea # use `;` if used as a single line
zip -r /var/backups/gitea-$VERSION.zip /etc/gitea/ /var/lib/gitea/ /var/lib/mysql/gitea/
sudo -u gitea GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea/ nohup /usr/local/bin/gitea web -c /etc/gitea/app.ini &

does the job.

By the way should make sure that gitea isn't running anymore after the killall call. How to make killall wait gitea to stop running?

Use rsnapshot to reduce the size of backups.
