Use checkpoint feature along with Snapshots at slave side to make sure each days snapshot contains all the changes from that day.

When you set checkpoint, you can watch the status of checkpoint completion using geo-rep status. Once checkpoint complete, it is guaranteed that everything created before Checkpoint Time is synced to slave.(Note: It only ensures that all the creates/updates done before checkpoint time but Geo-rep may sync the files which are created/modified after Checkpoint time)

    Would be possible to setup a geo-replicated cluster to be used as
    backup?
    Obviously deleted files on master would be also deleted on the
    replicated, so this won't be feasable to be used as backup, BUT if I
    schedule a snapshot every night (on the replicated node), I can use
    the snapshot as backup.

    I case of restore, I have to mount the snapshot e restore from there.

    Something like this, on the geo-replicated node:

    # gluster snapshot create backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M) gv0

    in a cronjob

    Any drawbacks ?
    Backing up a multi-terabyte or multi-petabyte would be impossible with
    standard rsnyc or any other backup tools.
