Hi Johan, Once the backup is created successfully, Solr does not play any role in managing the backup copies and it is left up to the user. You may want to build a script which maintains last N backup copies (and delete old ones).
If you end up building such script, see if you can submit a patch against SOLR-9744 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9744> Thanks Hrishikesh On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 11:33 PM, Johan Kooijman <m...@johankooijman.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I see I can easily create/restore backups of the entire collection > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Collections+API. > > I now have a situation where these backups fill up a disk, so I need to get > rid of some.
