I don't know of any effort out there to have DIH trigger a backup automatically. However, you can set the replication handler to automatically backup after each commit. This might solve your problem if you aren't committing frequently.

I've asked this question on #solr and was pointed to https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication?highlight=%28backup%29#HTTP_API which is helpful but is not an automatic backup in the context of full-import's. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this work yet. -- Artem Shnayder
