I read over the docs ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Making+and+Restoring+Backups) and am not quite sure what route to take. My team is looking for a way to backup the entire index of a SolrCloud collection with regular rotation similar to the backup option available in a single node deployment.
We have plenty of space in our HDFS cluster. Resources are not an issue in the least to have a rolling back up of say, the last seven days. Is there a good way to implement this sort of rolling backup with the APIs or will we have to roll some of the functionality ourselves? I'm not averse to using the API to dump a copy of each shard to HDFS. Something like this: /solr/collection/replication?command=backup&name=shard_1_1&numberToKeep=7 Is that a viable route to achieve this or do we need to do something else? Thanks, Mike
