One way to get an index backup in Solr is through an HTTP call like this http://localhost:8983/solr/replication?command=backup
I have 2 questions regarding this 1) Is there a way to get information on the progress of the backup operation, much like the async param that was introduced in 4.8 (I think) for Collections API? 2) Does this command guarantee that you'll get a valid backup even if the Solr core is up and maybe in middle of indexing/commit operations? I'm using Solr 4.8.1 Thanks -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Tracking-request-for-Solr-index-backup-tp4148997.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
