- Backups should only be made for regions with Lucene indexes
when there are no puts, updates, or deletes in progress.
-Incremental backups will not be consistent for the region and
-its index upon restart if these operations were in progress,
-due to the delayed processing associated with the asynchronous event queue.

+A backup might cause an inconsistency between region data and a Lucene
index,
+if that backup is used to restore a system.
+The Lucene index is persistent.
+If a backup is unlucky enough to be taken between
+a persisted write to a region (causing a disk operation)
+and the resulting persisted write to the Lucene index
+(causing a disk operation),
+then the backup represents inconsistent data in the region and Lucene
index.
