I am just now discovering that I can't rsync backup my graylog2/elasticsearch/fluentd system unless I filter out "/var/log". There must be simply too much file activity for rsync to get a handle on it. Presumably it could be possible to use some sort of file system snapshot strategy (like ZFS might use), but I was wondering what methods people may be using. I was planning to cron a scheduled mongodb dump to back up. But we also need to back up some stuff in /var/log. It will be an issue to kill services to get this done, but I really don't want to go all the way to some sort of failover setup either.
