vRealize Operations Manager 8.x - BACKUP Strategy ?

Hi guys,

I'm looking at how to backup vROPS 8.5. 
I had a look on the best practices from VMware documentation: vRealize Operations Manager 8.4 Best Practices Guide - vRealize Operations Manager 8.4 (vmware.com)

They advise at least to bring the Cluster Offline.

I was thinking about:
- Shutdown my vROPS appliances ( 2 nodes: 1 Master & 1 Data)
- Launch the backup
- Once the backup finished => PowerOn appliances

 I've few questions:

- Does the shutdown of appliance set the cluster in "Offline" mode properly?
- Do I need to stop first the "Master" appliance to stop correclty the cluster? 

- What's your process of vROPS backup? How do you automate this task? 

Thanks !
