Backing Up Your Search Site Files
As with any valuable data, you should make sure that your search site files are
backed up. At minimum, you should back up your index files, which by
default are stored at volume:\searchroot\sites.
However, if you have customized templates, you might also want to back them
up. By default, they are stored at volume:\searchroot\templates.
