Pretty sure it's db.stopBalancer() for backups.

I thought sh.stopBalancer() was the right one?

I’m leaning towards sh.stopBalancer() being the right choice since it directly relates to sharded clusters, but I could be wrong.

I feel like I might confuse db.stopServer() with stopping the balancer. I should double-check which one is actually needed.

I remember practicing a question about sharded clusters, and I think it was important to stop the balancer to ensure data consistency during backups.

I think we need to stop the balancer before starting the backup, but I'm not sure if it's db.stopBalancer() or sh.stopBalancer().

I'm not totally sure about this, but I think the answer is to run `sh.stopBalancer()` before doing the backup. I'll double-check my understanding.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between stopping the balancer and stopping the server. I'll need to review my notes on sharding.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the steps for backing up a sharded cluster carefully.
