Just committed to Solr 3.5 is a "numberToKeep" parameter which lets you tell it to automatically delete the older backups. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication#HTTP_API , under which is a short quip about this.

Configured my replication handler on the master with this option: <str name="backupAfter">optimize</str> I am running an optimize call on a regular basis (e.g. every week or every day, not the question here) and a snapshot is created. I am wonder where the option ist, to specify how much snapshots should be kept? Index is very big and without rotation i am running out of space sooner or later. How this can be done with SOLR (without using an external self-made Cronjob which does delete them). regards Torsten
