I have a 1 x 2 = 2 volume geo-replicated to a single-brick volume in another physical site, where I would like to set up a backup.
I could setup a backup on a mount of the volume, but a quick test shows it is slow in this setup (presumably because there are loads of small files on there).
Instead I thought I could maybe backup the filesystem where the brick is (or rather a snapshot of the thin logical volume). My understanding is that all the files will be in there, and readable, so it seems to me it would be fine to back things up from there.
Is that right, or am I missing something here?
Note the .glusterfs directory would also be backed up too, although I'm not sure whether that would be of any use in a backup.
More generally is there a recommended way to setup backups?
Thanks,
Thibault.
