One of the possible scenarios is someone taking a lvm snap of the backend.
As an aside, lvm snapshots are good for one-off temporary saves, but are completely useless as an interval snapshot. Each one takes up a ton of ram and increase boot-up times very significantly. I would recommend focusing on btrfs for any snapshotting backend.


Yes. Main reason to introduce coordinated snapshotting via gluster is for backups. I would remove the snapshot after backup completes.
