Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-5750:
-----------------------------------

bq. Creates a core-less collection with the config set from the backup ( it 
appends a restore.configSetName to it for avoiding collissions )
What if we backup two collections using the same config "foo"? After restore of 
the first collection, we will have a config "restore.foo", but what happens 
during restore of the second collection? Have not looked at the patch code. 
Should it not be a goal that a backup + nuke + restore leaves you with a state 
as close to the original as possible, i.e. with one config called "foo", used 
by both collections? Perhaps a restore option {{shareConfig=true}} which 
creates the config if missing, otherwise reuses what is there?

> We should have an easy way to do backups and restores in SolrCloud. The 
> ReplicationHandler supports a backup command which can create snapshots of 
> the index but that is too little.
> The command should be able to backup:
> # Snapshots of all indexes or indexes from the leader or the shards
> # Config set
> # Cluster state
> # Cluster properties
> # Aliases
> # Overseer work queue?
> A restore should be able to completely restore the cloud i.e. no manual steps 
> required other than bringing nodes back up or setting up a new cloud cluster.
> SOLR-5340 will be a part of this issue.
