Roy Perkins commented on SOLR-15371: ------------------------------------ Checked back through out ELK logs for Solr and found a similar error for when the backup failed: {code:java} 2021-06-14 05:04:38.950 ERROR (OverseerThreadFactory-55-thread-5-processing-n:solrmulti03.DOM.DOMAIN.com:8983_solr) [c:search ] o.a.s.c.a.c.OverseerCollectionMessageHandler Error from shard solrmulti01.DOM.DOMAIN.com:8983_solr: {responseHeader={status=0,QTime=0},STATUS=failed,Response=Failed to backup core=search_shard1_replica_n25 because org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Directory to contain snapshots doesn't exist: file:///mnt/solr_backups/search/search-06-14-2021. Note that Backup/Restore of a SolrCloud collection requires a shared file system mounted at the same path on all nodes!} {code} Again, this is an NFS mount that is mounted in the same location on all the servers. Restarting solr on the node hosting the leader for the shard that is complained about will fix the issue and allow it to run again. But if at some point, that node becomes the leader for that shard again, it fails the next backup cycle. > Backups randomly fail sometimes > ------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-15371 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15371 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Components: Backup/Restore > Affects Versions: 8.5.2, 8.8.2 > Reporter: Roy Perkins > Priority: Major > > Hi, we have an issue where sometimes one shard fails to backup due to what > might be a race condition in creating the folder/starting the backup.
