[HTCondor-users] Backup guidance

[Nathan Sharp <nsharp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

 We are investigating HTCondor for some potential production uses and so far been having great success! A huge thanks to all who have helped create all the online documentation on HTCondor.

 So far I have had not very good luck finding information about how to properly back up an HTCondor system to protect against system failure and data loss. Is there information on this available somewhere? Can the execute, spool, log, and lock folders be backed up live, or do we need to shut down the daemons to get a clean state? Are there other pieces that need to be backed up with the files?

Thanks so much,

 Nathan
