Gourav, You are correct - there is no need to back up and restore the data. If you want the data to be balanced across all nodes, you have to either move some forests to the new node or use tools like CoRB or https://github.com/mblakele/task-rebalancer to move individual documents to the new node, or re-ingest the content.

We are planning to add one more node to the cluster. Is there any need of backing up the existing data(from existing two nodes) and restoring it on the new node? Ideally, after configuring a new node, there should not be any back up and restore process as it is a cluster configuration. Can anyone confirm our understanding.
