Hi Imba,

Thank you very much for the response. I went through the source for the
toolchain. I do have further questions regarding taking backups.
Specifically I would like to know whether it is safe to make backup on
live/running production servers. ( this is known as live / hot backups )
On the other hand, whether it's possible to restore without any
corruptions from those created live backups.

Looking at the toolchain source code [1] it doesn't leverage RocksDB backup
engine to create live backups as per [2]
So I would like to know whether the above approach is safe or viable to do
live backups.

Thank you and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards
