Hello,

Is there a way to export a backup of my users with passwords and roles ?  
I'm running ES 7.6.2.

If I do create snapshots for indices security... I'll be covering that users, roles, passwords part ?

i.e.

PUT /\_snapshot/my\_backup/snapshot\_1  
{  
"indices": ".security"  
}

Regards,  
Jorge
