No downtime backups

Hi,

The page detailing backups [1] specifically says that you should stop the IoTDB service before starting the backup.

This isn't idea for high availability set ups.

Would having a cluster with two data nodes, stopping a single node, performing the backup, then starting the node again work?

Thanks
