If you're writing to disk, you can minimize the chance of an
inconsistent index by hardlinking the files first (cp -l)

Solr indexes are file-based, so there's no need to "dump" the index

In terms of how to create backups and move those backups to other
servers, check out this page http://wiki.apache.org/solr/
CollectionDistribution.
Hope that helps.

Subject: Backup of a Solr index
Is there a standard way to dump the Solr index to a file or to a
directory as backup, and to import a such saved index to another Solr
index later?
Another question I have, is whether one is allowed to copy the
/data/index folder while the Solr server is still running, as easy
alternative to do a backup (may this conflict with Solr holding open
files?)?
Happy new year,
Jörg
