Hello everyone.

I have this cluster with lots and lots of backup configuration. It is so much configuration that when a restart a node, it takes more then 5 minutes to start it.  
Is there a way for me to clean the backup configuration **without** deleting the backup?

Because we use Glacier, and because Elasticsearch started using an ID as the name of the "folder" in S3, we are creating a backup configuration for every index we have, each day. So if i have 100 index, in a month we create 100\*30 index. (actually we got 200+ index each day in our cluster).

Is there a way to do that?

Im' using ES 5.5.2
