             Summary: Doc task: interactions of backups with persistence
                 Key: GEODE-2994
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2994
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: docs
            Reporter: Karen Smoler Miller


Document that an inconsistent state can occur by using a backup to restore 
system state, if the backup is made at the wrong time.

There are 2 examples where persistence and taking a backup might cause an 
inconsistency with region data, if that backup is used to restore a system.

# *A Lucene index.* The Lucene index is persistent. If a backup is unlucky 
enough to be taken between a persisted write to a region (disk op) and a 
persisted write to the Lucene index (disk op), then the backup represents 
inconsistent data in the region and Lucene index.

# *An AEQ.* The AEQ is persistent. If a backup is unlucky enough to be taken 
between a persisted write to a region (disk op) and a persisted write to the 
AEQ (disk op), then the backup represents inconsistent data in the region and 
the AEQ.

The solution is to make sure that backups are taken when the system is 
quiescent WRT region operations.
