@sleto-it Turned out arangobackup is a C++ tool using the startup option framework, and the "verb"/"action" is actually an option --operation which is allowed to be passed as positional argument (without --operation).

I integrated the auto-generated table, which you can preview here:

Hot backups are not automatically replicated between instances. This is
true both for the active/failover setup with 2 (or more) single servers,
and for the data center to data center replication between clusters.
Simply take hot backups on all instances.

Is there a chance of running into trouble if the passive side is behind the active side when both are restored?

I have concerns about why these limitations are described relatively to arangobackup tool rather than Hot Backup feature itself.

@KVS85 because also the other tools have the limitation page inside the chapter that describe the tool. We can still link the same page from other sections

Hope this helps,

@sleto-it Only arangodump has a limitations chapter actually, so lets see how it would look like under the backup & restore chapter.
