How many nodes do I need to run an Axon Server Cluster?
First of all, it is recommended to have an odd number of nodes, preferably 3 or 5 - having more nodes would increase latency. This is explained by the underlying Consensus Protocol that we use, RAFT, as it states that an even number of nodes will reduce availability.

How can I backup my data?
Having a cluster of nodes already gives you a form of backup. However, it is possible to backup events and snapshots, control DB and replication log in addition to clustering.
