Search Index

Restoring From Backup Index

If a bad index has been replicated from the primary search server to the replica search server, you can fix it by restoring a backup index on the primary search server. If replication is on, any changes to the primary search server index will be replicated to the replicas.

note

When restoring from backup, you must shutdown and restart the primary search server for replication to work properly.

For example, to restore the product index from a backup:

1. Shutdown the primary search server.

2. Delete the primary’s product index located in your deployed search server’s WEB-INF\solrHome\data\index-product folder.

3. Copy your backup product index files to solrHome\data\index-product.

4. Restart the primary server.
