Hi all, we have a riak cluster up on AWS ec2 that we like to do daily backups of. Since we use the leveldb backend the backup routine is to stop a node, make a snapshot of the ebs volume and then start the node again. The node is down just a couple of seconds.
What we noticed is that we get a lot of hinted handoffs between the nodes and although we've raised the transfer limit during the backup it still takes a lot of time. Is there any danger of not waiting for handoffs between taking down nodes for backups? How do you do backups?
