Hello,  
I have a specific need regarding Snapshots.  
Indeed I have hundreds of snapshot (we use snapshot for a daily back-up of our indices).  
We would like to copy a specific snapshot from our repository to another one. We only need 2 days of snapshots (so 2 snapshots), but we don't want to copy the whole repository.  
Is there any way to do that ? I searched in forum & Elasticsearch doc but didn't find any solution for that.  
Thanks in advance !

As segments are reused across snapshots if they have not changed I do not believe that is possible. It is as far as I knowe not possible to copy and restore a partial repository.
