Why do Solr backups fail?

A “backup” is a copy of the deployment’s configuration files, index files, and any .JAR files that are needed. Any condition that interferes with copying these files can produce a backup failure:

Some of these events are temporary and will correct themselves
Some can be cleared by the user or by support
Some mean that you have outgrown your deployment and need to upgrade.
