Hi Teams

We can take backup of daily indices using SLM. Till now we were doing this manually, like daily-backup-2024-08-01 snapshot is taking backup of indices 2024-08-01, daily-backup-2024-08-02 snapshot is taking backup of indices 2024-08-02 and so on

Every time we need to change the date , now we need to automate SLM .
