Data backup from prod elastic cluster to backup elastic cluster periodically

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,
I am currently trying to find the best way to keep two elastic clusters in sync. I tried it by fetching the modified data from the main cluster and update/insert to the backup cluster. The idea is to keep the two clusters in sync so that either of them can be main during failure. I am thinking taking snapshots from main and restoring them in the back cluster would do better job without fetching huge amount of modified data.
But I am not sure if two clusters can use the same snapshot repository to read and write data to.

Could you provide me insight into any better/best way to keep two elastic clusters in sync from a java application?

Thank you.

Welcome to our community! :smiley:

You can use cross cluster replication to do just this - Cross-cluster replication | Elasticsearch Guide [7.13] | Elastic
Otherwise there's more here Set up a cluster for high availability | Elasticsearch Guide [7.13] | Elastic
