Hey everyone, got a quick questions about backing up a ClearML server. Should the server be stopped with docker-compose down before archiving /opt/clearml/data ? What are the potential downsides for not doing this?

Context is I'd like to run a regular backup overnight but don't want to interrupt long running tasks.

Hi SuperiorPanda77 ,

Should the server be stopped with

docker-compose down

before archiving

/opt/clearml/data

?

Yes, it should. As far as I know copying the data folder for mongodb/es when they are up might have unpredictable results (for the copied data, I mean). There are other strategies (such as configuring ES snapshot backups and using mongodump), but these are more complicated.
