Hi All,

We're looking to take nightly realm backups of a clustered Keycloak deployment via the realm export feature. However, in reading through the docs, I came across this statement:

The fact it's done at server startup means that no-one can access Keycloak UI or REST endpoints and edit Keycloak database on the fly when export or import is in progress. Otherwise it could lead to inconsistent results.

What are the implications for this in a clustered environment? We were planning to take a single server down and use it for realm export. Will this operation be reliable with other servers running?
