[Snapshot and restore](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snapshot-restore.html) is what you are looking for. You may want to use [the `repository-gcs` plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/7.5/repository-gcs.html) to keep your snapshots in GCS. ---
