Recursive nesting of indexbackup_temp directories

[hbf]

I've upgraded to Alfresco 2.9b and have just realised that my alf_data directory contains

audit.contentstore
contentstore
contentstore.deleted
lucene-indexes
  archive
  indexbackup_temp  (*)
    archive
    indexbackup_temp
      <story goes on recursively in here to some extent>
    locks
    system
  locks
  system
  user
  workspace‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Can I safely remove the directory indexbackup_temp (marked with a star above)?

Should I reindex afterwards?

Thanks,
Kaspar

P.S. This seems to be JIRA issue AR-2175.

Hi

You can avoid this problem by moving the back up localtion.

How does one move the backup location?  Is that a property somewhere?

From the JIRA issue discussion (see above), I assumed it is sufficient to set

dir.root=/home/whatever/repository-server/alf_data
dir.indexes.backup=${dir.root}/backup-lucene-indexes‍‍

but that does not solve the issue:
