Description
From a StackOverflow question:
I read article about backing up data, but some issues is not clear for me:
- What happens with data, that will be changed after backup process was started?
- Does backup operation work only on current machine? Or will it collect data from all shards in cluster? > - If only on current, should I start backup process on all servers?
- Is it slow operation so I should forbid all operation to db while backup in progress?
These are all reasonable questions that should be answered by the article itself.

Research direction
Start with the backup article and the linked StackOverflow question. Clarify what happens to data changed during backup, whether backups cover all shards or require work on each server, and whether database operations should be restricted; done means the article answers all four questions.
