“Take backups” is whatever you need for your environment. In AWS, we snapshot the EBS volumes, and so on.
Backing up the Solr install and home directories would be good. There are some core.properties files in there that seem to be useful.

For the Zookeeper ensemble, remember that each host has a different value in the myid file. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Oct 31, 2018, at 5:17 AM, lstusr 5u93n4 <lstusr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Yes, zookeeper is external, and yes, we'll definitely wait until after solr > has stopped to bring it down. > > Thanks for the tip about disabling `autoAddReplicas`, we definitely don't > want the shards moving around during the process. > > Wunder, your point 3 mentions "take backups".
