Hello Aroop, I am doing this via the commands described here: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_6/making-and-restoring-backups.html The setup is using solr cloud. The backup is written to an NFS mount.
I now see the text: "SolrCloud Backup/Restore requires a shared file system mounted at the same path on all nodes, or HDFS." Honestly, I must have missed it. I do not recall it being there before. I guess that answers my question. Thank you for contacting me back about this anyway.
