index snapshot repository

The index snapshot repository command sets the search index snapshot repository shared file system path. You can set any number of repositories. But, the Search Index Engine always uses the currently set file path for backing up and restoring data.

To use the index snapshot repository for search index (in CLI), you need to first specify the repository path, path.repo at the location given below and restart the server. In case of cluster set-up this modification needs to be done at all the nodes. This path is used while creating the repository.

<Spectrum Installation Folder>\index\elasticsearch.template.

For example, the path can be:
  • path.repo: ["/mount/backups"]
  • path.repo: ["C:/SIbackups"]
Examples of repositories created using the above path are:
  • index snapshot repository --p /mount/backups/index_customer
  • index snapshot repository --p C:/SIbackups/index_customer

Usage
