Hi Otis, Yes, it's reliable. You can safely move an entire data directory to another machine or another cluster (sharing conf) using scp, you'll then also copy over the index.properties file. You could also rename the directory from index.<NUMBER>/ to just index/ and remove the index.properties file and start the server again. It'll pick it up.
