I am blind. Just found this:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/backup-sharded-cluster-with-database-dumps/
Maybe I'm blind, but I haven't seen a concise, high level summary of how to backup a sharded cluster.
- halt balancer.
- make sure no chunks flying around (isBalancerRunning lets u know if chunk is movin).
- backup preferably from Primary shards.
- backup config server data.
- re-enable balancer.
THEY ARE ONE UNIT. AND MUST BE RESTORED AS ONE UNIT.
