Thank you Shawn, Found out the timeout can be increased in the solr.xml but going to go with the async approach instead. It gives a much better overview on the status of the backup, which is something we need for monitoring purposes.

The Collections API has a 3 minute timeout. The request would probably complete even though you got an error, but I am not 100% sure about that. If you have something that takes longer than this, you should make the request async. This will return immediately and put the request in the background. You can then make additional calls to check on its status. Thanks, Shawn
