## Hello, sometimes I want to grab index from production and run it locally. On production it uses S3 Gateway. So, I wrote a little program which copy all the files from production bucket to backup bucket, and download the files from there to my local machine. Copying from one bucket to another takes not much time. But once I put those files under my local instance of ES it just doesn't recover.
## [2011-12-23 15:13:18,288][INFO][cluster.service] [Red Ronin] new\_master [Red Ronin][UbdeFcwVTG2beuTt-inuVw][i net[/192.168.0.4:9300]], reason: zen-disco-join (elected\_as\_master) [2011-12-23 15:13:18,387][INFO][discovery] [Red Ronin] my-es-cluster/UbdeFcwVTG2beuTt-inuVw [2011-12-23 15:13:18,414][INFO][gateway] [Red Ronin] recovered [0] indices into cluster\_state
May be there is some official way to copy snapshots to run them
locally? Maybe I should just do something special do make it run?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

There isn't a way to copy the S3 data and place it into a "local" gateway
node(s).

Oh, I c, what would be the recommended way to get a snapshot from AWS
EC/S3 Elasticsearch server?
Also, I just wander, if I want to make a daily backup of the index
files, would it be enough to just copy the bucket and restore it if
something went wrong?
But the real problem, is to get a data from the server, and use it
somewhere else
Thank u

You can start the other cluster on the other servers using s3 gateway as
well, pointing to the copy you made of your s3 data.
