No, unfortunately the Collection Distribution scripts won't work in Windows because they use Unix filesystem trickery to operate. -----Original Message----- From: Jörg Kiegeland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 11:00 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Backup of a Solr index Charlie Jackson wrote: > Solr indexes are file-based, so there's no need to "dump" the index to a > file. > But however one has first to shutdown the Solr server before copying the index folder? > In terms of how to create backups and move those backups to other servers, > check out this page http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CollectionDistribution. > It notes a script "abc", but I cannot find it in my Solr distribution (nightly build)?
