Hi All,

Is there any option to archive the document level data of the Index which is created in the cloud level, Please guide me if any possibility is there to archive the data in cloud level.

The only supported way to backup/archive indices is throught the [snapshot API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.13/snapshot-restore-apis.html). Have you looked at this? What are you looking to achieve?

Then the snapshot API is the way to go.
