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

possible to setup a geo-replicated cluster to be used as
backup?<br>
Obviously deleted files on master would be also deleted on
the<br>
replicated, so this won't be feasable to be used as backup,
BUT if I<br>
schedule a snapshot every night (on the replicated node), I
can use<br>
the snapshot as backup.<br>
<br>
I case of restore, I have to mount the snapshot e restore
from there.<br>
<br>
Something like this, on the geo-replicated node:<br>
<br>
# gluster snapshot create backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M) gv0<br>
<br>
in a cronjob<br>
<br>
Any drawbacks ?<br>
Backing up a multi-terabyte or multi-petabyte would be
impossible with<br>
standard rsnyc or any other backup tools.<br>
