Jan is correct that this mailing list isn't the right place for your question. Here's an idea, though: If your program is running on an OS and filesystem that supports hard links (Linux being a prime example), one thing you can do is make a hardlink copy of your index directory, and then copy from that hardlink copy to a backup location. Making hardlink copies is near-instant process, and once it's made, you can continue to update the index while you are making a backup of the hardlink copy. Then once your backup is made, delete the hardlink copy. If you're on Windows or another OS that doesn't readily support hard links, you could look into how Solr creates backups of Lucene indexes for SolrCloud. All that source code is available -- it's in the same source repository as Lucene.
