Probably my original mail was unclear. I repeat: "One solution is to use clustering. One cluster node (the 'master') is used for regular requests, while the other (the 'backup') is used for backup. The master node continuously runs, while the backup node is stopped from time to time to create a backup." In that case the Lucene index in the backup is consistent. After a crash, you restore the backup. Like that, you don't have an inconsistent index. Regards, Thomas
