This will only help with the server staying up but since we hit this issue a lot recently (it is down again) we will never be able to analyze all the packages if it keeps resetting the index. We really need to determine what is causing this or use a safer save method (locking? save in intervals?).

Yes that is true. if this happened once in a year it would be fine to just reset.
