All my installations, if fresh or upgraded from v2.1 have a problem to be restartet after running for over a night. The reason are invalid backup indexes. If I delete the whole "backup-lucene-indexes" directory before restart, everything is fine again. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I could nail to the problem to the folder "versionStore", which is also present in the "lucene-indexes" folder and as such gets copied to the backup. If I delete this folder, it is recreated after some time (some days?), and starts to nag em again.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The relevant part of the error message in the log is this:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE>2009-03-21 09:10:10,027 [Thread-1] ERROR org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/alfresco] - Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.alfresco.web.app.ContextListener<BR />org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'luceneIndexBackupComponent' defined in class path resource [alfresco/core-services-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Existing index backup does not look like the expected structure.
