I'm pondering on long term maintenance issues with Lucene indexes and would like to know of anyone's suggestions or recommendations to backing up these indexes. My goal is to have a weekly, or even daily, snapshot of the current index to make sure it is recoverable if the index gets corrupted. I won't be able to reindex since my database contains millions of records so reindexing on-the-fly is not an option. Also the index size is growing fast--already at the 56GB mark--that I'm not even sure creating a snapshot copy is fast enough. Maybe clustering is better?
Hence if anyone has any recommendations regarding backup strategies for lucene indexes, I would be grateful.
