You cannot delete this index, its a system index. So it is stupid that the snapshot stores this index, where you are not able to restore it. Does not make any sense and breaks the whole mechanism, don't get it.

At the end, before you can delete this index you have to do the following : [How to disable geoip usage in 7.14.0](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-disable-geoip-usage-in-7-14-0/281076)
