We've been running regular backups on clouds ranging in size up to several hundred GB. So far we've not had any major issues, but larger clouds may take several hours to complete.
We've noticed no significant impact to query/ingestion latency (+-10% roughly), but running queries at the same time as backup will noticeably increase CPU usage (backup by itself will use around 1-2 cores worth of CPU cycles) From: users@solr.apache.org At: 07/26/24 11:51:13 UTC-4:00To: users@solr.apache.org Subject: Re: Collection Backup API Looks like I found the answer - https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/backup-restore.html#b ackup-api : The backup command is an asynchronous call, and it will represent data from > the latest index commit point. All indexing and search operations will > continue to be executed against the index as usual. With that said if anyone has any tips/warnings for using the backup/restore API feel free to share.
