I currently back up PostgreSQL and assetstore data via nightly snapshots
and syncing offsite (S3, whatever), but as far as I know there's no way to
atomically snapshot DSpace's Solr; ie, during the time it takes to `cp` my
8GB of Solr data, the data has changed, so the backup is not atomic and
likely inconsistent. I can shut down Tomcat of course, but... that seems a
bit excessive.

Upstream Solr has some discussion of backing up from read-only slaves[0],
but I wanted to know if anyone had a solution for this. We're using DSpace
4.3.

Cheers,
