I have about 1M files in a GlusterFS with rep 2 on 3 nodes runnnig gluster 3.7.3.
What would be a recommended automated backup strategy for this setup? I already considered the following: 1) glusterfs snapshots in combination with dd. This unfortunatelly was not possible so far as I could not find any info on how to make a image file out of the snapshots and how to automate the snapshot procedure. 2) rsync the mounted file share to a second directory and do a tar on the entire directory after rsync completed 3) combination of 1 and 2. Doing a snapshot that gets mounted automaticaly and then rsync from there. Problem: How to automate snapshots and how to know the mount path Currently I am only able to do the second option, but the fist option seems to be the most atractive. Thank you for any help on this.
