We are using ElasticSearch 1.5.2 version on production. On daily basis we take backup of data on Amazon S3 using plugin [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws#s3-repository](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws#s3-repository). We are moving form AWS to Google cloud so we need to take backup of data on GCS(Google Cloud Storage). There is support of GCS in ElasticSearch 5.0.0.alpha4 version (Reference [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/master/repository-gcs.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/master/repository-gcs.html)) But I am not able to find anything for ES 1.5.2 version. Please let me know how we can take data backup in ES 1.5.2 on GCS(Google Cloud Storage). ---

Thanks for quick response!! Could you please share more details about S3 compatible API which can be used for this? Also I found another plugin GCE Cloud plugin (Reference: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/cloud-gce.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/cloud-gce.html)) for older versions of ES. Can we use this plugin for data backup to GCS(Google cloud storage)? ---

No. Here is a link which might help: [Fully migrate from Amazon S3 to Cloud Storage  |  Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/migrating) ---
