Had a problem with my grafana server today so I am now forced to restore  
from backups. When I try to restore from any of my many backups, I get  
exceptions such as this:

Caused by: org.apache.lucene.index.CorruptIndexException: [][1] Corrupted  
index [corrupted\_DOarE0krSua6FJ46T5dFBQ] caused by:  
CorruptIndexException[checksum failed (hardware problem?) :  
expected=18qavtj actual=1helpmw (resource=name [\_3l\_Lucene49\_0.dvd], length  
[62], checksum [18qavtj], writtenBy [LUCENE\_4\_9])]

I'm in a bit of a jam now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Grafana uses graphite, do you mean Kibana?
