I think the answer to that problem is to back up from a machine that has the native Gluster client mount the data that needs to be backed up - that way you don't have to worry about replicas and attributes. Of course this seems to indicate that you would need to restore the same way ... but I'm not positive about that.

So if I have 4 node glusterfs cluster and replica of 2 then how do I effectively do the backups such that I don't backup multiple copies or overwrite files when doing backups.
