I have a new 7.11 cluster which has access to a snapshot repo used by another 7.x cluster. How can I kick off a restore of one of the old snapshots into the new cluster?

Thx

[Restore a snapshot | Elasticsearch Reference [7.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.11/snapshots-restore-snapshot.html) should sort you out.
