Hi Prateek, To me it feels like the backup/restore is still an open item should be higher on the agenda. Yes, there are work-arounds like copying data from/into the index folder but this doesn' t seem very stable.
I'm using the following approach in solrcloud since I ran into an issue with restoring the same backup multiple times: rm $SOLRDATA_LOCATION/$INDEXNAME/data/index.properties rm -rf $SOLRDATA_LOCATION/$INDEXNAME/data/restore.snapshot..... curl " http://localhost:8983/solr/$INDEXNAME/replication?command=restore&location=$BACKUP_LOCATION&name=$INDEXNAME.$TIMESTAMP " Though this is working, I still think it should work with a simple restore command and no need to tweak the current core/index directory/files.
