Hi Jasper, Solr does handle that for you. Some more stuff to share:
* Solr version? * JVM version? * OS? * Java replication? * Errors in Solr logs? * deletion policy section in solrconfig.xml? * merge policy section in solrconfig.xml? * ... You may also want to look at your Index report in SPM (http://sematext.com/spm) before/during/after replication and share what you see.
