Backing Up Replication Target NAS Volumes

When performing a backup of replication target volumes, FluidFS does not create a dedicated NDMP snapshot. FluidFS instead uses the base replica snapshot from the last successful replication.
If the schedules for replication and NDMP backup overlap, it is possible that while NDMP backup of target volumes is in process, a new replication operation will execute and complete before the NDMP backup has finished. In this case the replication operation deletes the previous base replica snapshot and create a new base replica.
  • CAUTION: Doing this terminates the NDMP backup. To avoid this scenario schedule your replication and backup operations such that replication completes before the NDMP backup starts.
