Jackrabbit index backup and restore strategy

[Nilay Parmar <ni...@cybage.com>]

Hi All,

We have a standalone jackrabbit configured with java1.7(64-bit) on windows OS.
We have a 700GB of datastore at production and it increases with 2000 documents daily.

Now, we are planning to have a recovery strategy from any unexpected index corruption(failure).
For that we can take backup of the indexes on regular basis(weekly).
When there is any problem and we restore the latest backup(may be 2 days old), does it create indexes of those DELTA documents(added after latest backup)? Or re-index from scratch is the only option?
What should be the restore strategy?

If this is not the correct way to recover from loss then please suggest any other solution.

Thanks and regards,
Nilay Parmar
