Updated

Note: This applies to DocuShare 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 installations that are running Solr.

Note: This is done using the command URL or curl commands locally on the server.

 

Backup

To perform a manual backup of Solr Index data:

Backup command

http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=BACKUP&name=DocuShare_backup&collection=DocuShare&location=C:\Xerox\Docushare\Solr\server\solr\Solr_bak

The "name" parameter is the name given for the backup.

The "location" parameter is the path where the backup will be created.

 

Check that the location C:\Xerox\Docushare\Solr\server\solr\Solr_bak\ does exist.

If the location C:\Xerox\Docushare\Solr\server\solr\Solr_bak\ does not exist, please make sure to create Solr_bak folder under <dshome>\Solr\server\solr\ before running above backup command.

 

Note: the Solr backup folder(s) must reside in <dshome>\Solr\server\solr\ and be created before executing the Solr BACKUP operation. Multiple backup folders may be created, for examples:

<dshome>\Solr\server\solr\Solr_bak2
<dshome>\Solr\server\solr\Solr_bak3
<dshome>\Solr\server\solr\Solr_bak4

 

 

Restore

To restore the Solr index from Backup

Restore command:

http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=RESTORE&name=DocuShare_backup&collection=DocuShare&location=C:\Xerox\Docushare\Solr\server\solr\Solr_bak
