What was the configname in use for sial-catalog-product when it was backed up? Chances are that it was/is sial-catalog-product, the same name as the collection itself. I have just confirmed that this is what happens when I use the "bin/solr create" command and it uploads a configuration to zookeeper- the configuration gets the same name as the collection. If the collection was restored to the same cloud where it was backed up from, then there would not have been a configuration upload, because the named configuration would already be present. If it were restored to a different cloud, then it might have uploaded the configuration, but only if that config name was not already present. It sounds like the BACKUP and RESTORE operations work just as I had expected them to work, not how you expected. Thanks, Shawn
