Description of problem:
getting online backup related warning while performing offline incremental backup.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Satellite 6.8.0 snap 19
- rubygem-foreman_maintain-0.6.13-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
- Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform offline incremental backup.

Actual results:

    # foreman-maintain backup offline -y -f -s -p -i /mnt/satellite-backup-2020-10-14-09-51-45/ --features dns,tfp,dhcp,openscap --include-db-dumps /tmp/backup-CKMJwHBcgt/
    Starting backup: 2020-10-14 10:05:00 +0530
    Running preparation steps required to run the next scenarios
    ================================================================================
    Make sure Foreman DB is up:
    / Checking connection to the Foreman DB                               [OK]      
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Make sure Candlepin DB is up:
    - Checking connection to the Candlepin DB                             [OK]      
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Make sure Mongo DB is up:
    \ Checking connection to the Mongo DB                                 [OK]      
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Checks whether the tools for Mongo DB are installed:                  [OK]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
     
    Running Backup
    ================================================================================
    Data consistency warning:
    *** WARNING: The online backup is intended for making a copy of the data
    *** for debugging purposes only. The backup routine can not ensure 100% consistency while the
    *** backup is taking place as there is a chance there may be data mismatch between
    *** Mongo and Postgres databases while the services are live. If you wish to utilize the online backup
    *** for production use you need to ensure that there are no modifications occurring during
    *** your backup run.
     
    Do you want to proceed? (assuming yes)


Expected results:
Following warning is not present during offline incremental backup.

    Data consistency warning:

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/31328 has been resolved.
Comment 2 Gaurav Talreja 2021-01-15 14:54:47 UTC 
Verified.

Tested on Satellite 6.9.0 Snap 9.
Version: rubygem-foreman_maintain-0.7.4-1.el7sat.noarch

Setup:
1. Prepare directories for backups, and assign user `postgres` write permission on those directories for backup.

Steps:
1. Perform online incremental backup using -

  # foreman-maintain backup online -y -f -s -p -i /tmp/test-backup-online/satellite-backup-2021-01-15-07-45-30/ --features dns,tfp,dhcp,openscap 
   /tmp/test-backup-online-incremental/
  <snip>
    Running Backup
   ================================================================================
   Data consistency warning:
   *** WARNING: The online backup is intended for making a copy of the data
   *** for debugging purposes only. The backup routine can not ensure 100% consistency while the
   *** backup is taking place as there is a chance there may be data mismatch between
   *** Mongo and Postgres databases while the services are live. If you wish to utilize the online backup
   *** for production use you need to ensure that there are no modifications occurring during
   *** your backup run.

   Do you want to proceed? (assuming yes)
                                                                      [OK]
  </snip>


2. Perform offline incremental backup using option --include-db-dumps -

   # foreman-maintain backup offline -y -f -s -p -i /tmp/test-backup-offline/satellite-backup-2021-01-15-07-49-31/ --features dns,tfp,dhcp,openscap -- 
   include-db-dumps /tmp/test-backup-offline-incremental/
  <snip>
    Running Backup
   ================================================================================
   Data consistency warning:
   *** WARNING: The database dump is intended for making a copy of the data
   *** for debugging purposes only. The backup routine can not ensure 100% consistency while the
   *** backup is taking place as there is a chance there may be data mismatch between
   *** Mongo and Postgres databases while the services are live. If you wish to utilize the database dump
   *** for production use you need to ensure that there are no modifications occurring during
   *** your backup run.

   Do you want to proceed? (assuming yes)
                                                                      [OK]
  </snip>


Observation:
No warnings related to online backup are seen in offline backup (with options --include-db-dump) methods.
