Do we need to take the snapshot on every pod of etcd? or only on the master pod?

Hi Vishnu, taking snapshot from one pod is enough.

What is the user supposed to be doing with this snapshot?

I think we need to provide more explanation on this. Why should a user take a etcd snapshot? Where should it be stored (if needed)? How to recover from the snapshot in case of an irrecoverable failure?
