Look at Solr's snapshooter script. It uses hard links (via cp -lr ...) to create index snapshots. You could use those for backups. Otis -- Lucene Consulting -- http://lucene-consulting.com/

We are using Lucene 2.0 v. The normal way to have backup is to run a small reindex script every 5 mins, which would pick up only those files which were modified in that time frame and reindex them. This is one way to rebuild and update a backup index from a master index. Is there any other simpler way in Lucene v2.0, which would help us do the same task? please let us know. Please help Thanks ! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
