issue: node needs to be stopped before restoring files
suggestion: ensure rabbitmq node is stopped before and restarted after restoring the mnesia directory.

Could this not be part of the playbook as well? I know you have node_name as the scp target folder, but it's not created prior to the command, which might end up overwriting backups between nodes.

scp -r command will create the directories, also just to avoid the overwriting, updated docs to use new path for restore, instead of /path/to/backup

For the restoration process, I'd honestly link the official documentation as there's several potential pitfalls (such as shutting down the node highlighted by @lwille).
Perhaps it would be a good idea to add a few points on how the cluster is expected to behave with definitions and message restores.
