Hi All,

I have a question on Solr Backup and Restore features of Collection.

Right now, we have a use case where we are taking backup of prod collection
on a daily basis and creating the same collection on lower env.

And we are on Solr cloud 7.7

We are following the below process to backup collections using a scheduler.

1) Daily delete backed up prod collection in lower env.
2) Create prod collection in lower env using backup and restore feature of
cloud. -https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_2/collections-api.html#backup

Below are somethings that I have noticed

1) I see the daily backup scheduler is creating replicas on different
nodes. Sometimes multiple replicas are created on one node and
sometimes all replicas are created on different nodes.
2) I don't see that the restored collections configs are on zk.

Can anyone suggest to me, is this the right way of taking backups for my
use case ?

or
 Shall I create all collections once and use a standalone mode of backups
and restore api on each replica to update the documents, instead of
deleting the collection on a daily basis and what could be the downsides of
it.

Please suggest

Thanks,
Sudhir.
