Interesting read. One other alternative, with drbd:
1) break sync on other node
2) backup on other node
3) resync other node
Of course, drbd may not be best suited for disk intensive uses but your
milleage may vary...

drdb - If I understand right, this is another way to take a snapshot -
similar to taking one disk out of a RAID1, backing it up then
rebuilding the RAID. The LVM snapshot requires space and degrades
performance during the backup and your method suffers neither of those
disadvantages.<br>

Thanks for the suggestion.<br>
