Hello,
Whats the best way to do a backup of the SOLR data.
I have a single node solr server and I want to always keep a copy of the
data I have.
Is replication an option for what I want ?
I would like to get some tutorials and papers if possible on the method
that should be used in case its backup or replication or anything else.
Hi Wael,
Have you considered backing up the source data instead? You can always
re-index to re-create the Solr data.
Replication will certainly allow you to maintain a copy of the Solr
data, either so you can handle more search traffic by load balancing
between the two, or to provide a failover capability in the case of a
server failure. But this isn't a backup in the traditional sense. You
shouldn't consider Solr as your 'source of truth' unless for some reason
it is impossible to re-index.
Perhaps if you could let us know why you think you need a backup we can
suggest the best solution.
Cheers
Charlie
