    Description

      Relates to https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SUPPORT-387

      Documents http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/administration/backups/ for shard backups are unclear in step 2. Step 2 states " Lock all shards so that your backups reflect your entire database system at a single point in time. Lock all shards in as short of an interval as possible."

      I think this means we need to shutdown a config server to stop chunk migrations and splits.

      Can we clarify this process for users
