Hi,<br>
<br>
The problem I had with snapshots is I found if snapshoting hot they got confused and the users all doubled on some replicas, on others replication broke...very weird...<br>
<br>
So snapshot cold.<br>
<br>

For redundancy we recommend running several replicas so that if you<br>
loose one you can easily redeploy.<br>
It you want, you can run one of the replicas in a VM and take snapshots<br>
of the whole system.<br>
<br>
A more fine grained Backup/Restore procedure is on the roadmap for the<br>
next release.<br>
