Restarting w/o losing the indices

During my first week of using beagle, I was shutting down the daemon
and restarting it quite a lot.  Almost always, this caused a complete
loss of access to the previously built indices -- queries and
beagle-index-info both showed nothing left, although the files
themselves were still there, I think.

Now that the situation is more stable, and I've indexed far more of my
data, I'm much more nervous about losing it all and having to wait 3
days for everything to be indexed all over again. . .

So, my question:  _should_ a beagle-shutdown followed by a beagled
throw away all the indices?  What about doing a beagled --replace?
What's the recommended way to do this, or is it not intended to be
possible?

Thanks,

ht
