This is what the documentation says: == The collection created will be of the same number of shards and replicas as the original collection, preserving routing information, etc. Optionally, you can override some parameters documented below. While restoring, if a configSet with the same name exists in ZooKeeper then Solr will reuse that, or else it will upload the backed up configSet in ZooKeeper and use that. == Here's what I *HOPE* this means: The configuration name is saved as well as the actual configuration. If a configuration with the same name as the backed up configuration exists in zookeeper already, it will be used without modification, but if that config doesn't exist, the backed up configuration will be uploaded to zookeeper with the original config name. You seem to be assuming that the configuration will have the same name as the collection, and that's not what I would assume. I wonder which of us is right. You can check the configname being used by the restored collection by clicking on Cloud, then Tree, opening the "collections" folder, and clicking on the restored collection. It will be on the right side, below the table. Thanks, Shawn
