There's no problem with indexing while taking snapshot. The only issue I found is some problem with index directory: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4170 It looks like Solr always looks in .../data/index/ directory without reading "index.properties" file (sometimes your index dir name can be like "index.<date>"). So far, it's easy to find workaround for this, but it should work in 4.1 hopefully. As far as I checked snapshotting process is harmless for Solr performance, so it is reliable. In case of index recovery you can use files from your last snapshot and just send updates newer than this. At least, that's what I do and it works pretty fine.
