             Summary: Doc task: making/using backups when there are indexes
                 Key: GEODE-2985
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2985
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: docs
            Reporter: Karen Smoler Miller


We should document that making a backup or using a backup to restore a system 
when that system also has/had indexes can be problematic.

When taking a backup on a system that has an index, if there are region 
operations in progress, the asynchronous nature of propagating the results of 
the operations to an index means that the index content may be inconsistent 
with the region content.  If the backup were later used to restore a system, 
the inconsistency will be introduced back into the system.

The fix for this is to make sure that the system is quiescent with respect to 
region operations when a backup is taken.

In addition, the restoration procedure should rebuild indexes.

This issue exists for both regular (OQL) indexes and for Lucene indexes.
