I've got a couple of geo-diverse high-capacity ZFS storage boxes for this exact purpose. Geo-rep rsyncs to the boxes & regular snapshots are taken of the ZFS volumes. Works flawlessly & allows us to traverse & restore specific versions of individual files in seconds/minutes.

So, can I assume this is the official (and only) way to properly
backup a Gluster storage ?
I'm saying "only" way because it would be impossible to backup a multi
terabyte storage with any other software.
