Hi Divya, The Lucene library itself provides no support for "backup".
You might be interested in the Solr project[1], which extends Lucene, and which automates index replication. From the Solr Introduction / Features page[2]: Replication * Efficient distribution of index parts that have changed via rsync transport * Pull strategy allows for easy addition of searchers * Configurable distribution interval allows tradeoff between timeliness and cache utilization [1] http://lucene.apache.org/solr/index.html [2] http://lucene.apache.org/solr/features.html Rajendranath, Divya wrote: > We want to maintain a backup of our production index directory.
