I took backup in my ES 5.1.1

```
PUT /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_1
{
  "indices": "smsc",
  "ignore_unavailable": true
}

```

My snapshot look like

```
PUT /_snapshot/my_backup
{
  "type": "fs",
  "settings": {
    "location": "/home/GEMS/ES/backup",
    "compress": true,
    "chunk_size": "10m"
  }
}

```

Now I want to restore this data into another ES. I zipped the folder and moved into new server. How to restore this now into new server. I need to give mappings first or by default the mapping will come along with data???
