> We are running a four node solr cloud setup in 6.1.0 and have been playing around with the new BACKUP command out of collections api.  We experienced an oddity that may be by design, but I thought I would raise it as a potential issue as it seems non-optimal.  
> My understanding is that the backup command assumes a shared NFS mount that is available across all nodes, and in that configuration things work fine in our testing.  But we were looking at an alternate configuration where each solr node has a local mount (to a local drive).  Our hope was that the backup process would cause the collection leader to backup the collection to its local drive.  However, in practice this fails with a "directory non-existent error".  What appears to be happening is that overseer node is creating the backup directory on its local mount, and then forwarding the request to the collection leader (which happens to be a different node) for actual backup execution, which then fails because the created directory doesn't exist for it.  In the configuration where everyone shares a remote mount, this isn't problematic since the two nodes are operating on the same endpoint.  
> My expectation would be that the collection leader would create the local directory and then backup to that directory, which would support this configuration.
