That's fine. You use the SnapshotDeletionPolicy to get a snapshot, and then you ask that snapshot for the list of files, then tell your external utility to copy those files. Once that utility is done, you release the snapshot. If you need the snapshot to persist even when you close the IndexWriter/JVM and later open a new IndexWriter, use PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy.
