On rundeck backup guide, noted that is mandatory to stop rundeck to take full backup when using data file. Now, that guide don't show any secure method to backup full rundeck instance (rundeck server + database) when using MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or any supported database as a backend.

In a real production scenario, not seems to be possible to stop rdeck on a daily basis.

Can anybody share best pratices to take a hot full backup on rdeck installation without stop rdeck? Is there any secure and supported way to achive a full consistent rdeck projects and jobs definitions and database on a daily basis ?

In this post, answer is not clear, because question don't describe what kinbd of backend are used.

The documentation suggests the instance shutdown because some execution could be active, and that means a potentially active transaction in the middle of the "hot backup process" which means a potential data corruption in your backup. Is the safest way to backup your database.

If you want to do a "hot" backup you can export your projects (with all content, including jobs) and keys.
