I am looking for some best practices and clarification on the process involved in using ndb_restore. First, the manual says to remove all files from the datadir. On my system that would include the mysql directory, all other schemas and the BACKUP directory. Is that correct? If I do that, I will not have access to the BACKUP? Is it a best practice to over ride the default BackupDataDir to a shared file system? Can I restore all data nodes from a single data node by using the shared file system with all the data node backup files or is it best to do the resore on each data node?
