HI Erick,
I *just* found that parameter in the guide... it was waaay down at the bottom of the page (in proverbial small print)! So for other readers the steps are this: # start the backup async enabled /admin/collections?action=BACKUP&name=addrsearchBackup&collection=addrsearch&location=/apps/logs/backups&async=1234 # check on the status of the async job /admin/collections?action=REQUESTSTATUS&requestid=1234 # clear out the status when done /admin/collections?action=DELETESTATUS&requestid=1234 Thx Robi ________________________________ From: Erick Erickson <erickerick...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2018 8:24:20 AM To: solr-user Subject: Re: Backup a solr cloud collection - timeout in 180s? ________________________________ WARNING: External email.
