Hello  
I want to perform the next backup system, but I don’t know how I can do it.

1. Perform the backup of an explicit index of the current day example filebeat-%DD%MM%YYYY to the repository /backup.

2. Export from the backup repository the backup of an explicit day to be able to store it on backup tape

I have now managed to snapshot the path /backup  
but I don’t know how to distinguish between all indices which belongs to a specific day to be able to compress it and keep it on a tape.

Thank you

Folder listing /backup
