What are the caveats regarding the copy of a collection? At this time DIH takes only about 10 minutes. So in case of accidental delete we can just re-run the DIH. The reason I am thinking about backup is just in case records are deleted accidentally and the DIH cannot be run because the database is unavailable.
Our collection is simple: 2 nodes - 1 collection - 2 shards with 2 replicas each So a simple copy (cp command) for both the nodes/shards might work for us? How do I restore the data back?
